The evidence says global warming is real. The evidence tells us that homo sapians may play a part.
My spidey sense tells me that something foul has come to roost in a topic that at one time was purely academic. Global warming has become another form of terrorism. Another way to scare people so that we behave like we ought to. Another way to sell another peice of our lives to the people who own the governments of this world.
I was cold, so I turned up the world. Deal.
True but whether or not we play a part or not we are certainly the only creatures on the planet that can do something about it assuming something can be done
Not sure about the hint a the government conspiracy type thing but I agree that something fowl has come to roost in a topic that should be discussed on a much more academic/scientific level.
Ok, pet peeve.
Global Warming is happening, that is established. The science suggests that we do have something to do with it, that is fiarly established. The future effects are mostly guesses, alarmists on one side, and deniers that it will do anything on the other.
But warming is not the only issue. It is one potentially very bad result of pollution.
Now the article never even mentions "Global warming", it says "Climate change" which is a much wider range of problems, Global Warming being only one.
But that is still only part of the problem. Thousands of people die everyday because of contaminated drinking water due to pollution. Thousands get sick because of smaug and air pollution. Species are being driven to extinction because their environments are being destroyed.
Enviromental issues should be a concern, but politicians, activists and media need to stop polarizing it into a alarmist vs denialist issue, and only focusing on the Global warming piece of it.
What would we have to do in order to discourage people on a world wide scale to not have as many children?
All I'm saying is that we need to be very careful when people start shouting out solutions that include taxing people for using carbon and creating world organizations to monitor and regulate carbon by trumping a nation's sovereignty.
In the former case, I cannot think of a more regressive tax. This would hit the poorest people the hardest and unfairly punish people because they cannot afford alternatives. In the latter's case, I think the problems with such an organization are obvious. It's world government.
Words the Bush administration operated on for years.How dare you not think the way we tell you to?
Can we extend this call to jail those who ignore the science behind evolution?
Tellner, tried to give your rep for your post but have to spread it around a bit first it says.
More and more I am beginning to think that Don is winding us up deliberately with his reactionary and sometimes inflammatory posts.
