No Planet B

Humans are both bystanders to and perpetrators of climate disruption. Time to act is running out - support solutions - carbon Tax, CCS, incentives, regulations. A quarter century ago, a consensus formed among contemporary scientists specializing in the study of the climate. The consensus comprised one principal idea - the primary source of energy o... n which industrial civilization relied the burning of fossil fuels was dangerously increasing the temperature of the earth. If 97% of the scientists are 95% sure that there is a direct correlation between an increase in CO2 in the atmosphere and an increase in mean global temperatures and that anthropogenic CO2 is the cause then I think that it would be prudent for us to err on the side of caution and act on that consensus. Here it is in a nutshell. If we ( those that understand and except the science ) are wrong, then the worst outcome of our actions and attempts to mitigate anthropogenic climate changes will mean a cleaner, healthier planet. If they ( deniers ) are wrong and we ignore the warnings then, we and future generations are essentially screwed. It seems like it would be pretty straight forward to any rational thinking person.... the problem is the deniers aren't rational and therefore it does no good to argue with them.Read More
