What Can Be Done About Climate Change

[emmie]

is it a natural occurrence, after all the climate has changed over billions of years - is this really what we will come to.

The difference between weather and climate was taught at CSE level in my day.

[spathiphyllum]

Togo, the weather is a factor of the climate. Grow up.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Who's the odd one out?

David Cameron, Emmanuel Macron, Al Gore, Spath, or Jim?

[spathiphyllum]

I'll take a shot of being the odd one out. Not because i'm odd, just unique.

[SparklyKid]

Cameron, he butted out when he got it wrong,lol.

[spathiphyllum]

the other factor of the climate togo, is time period (before this descends)

This one is better Sparkly.
"" The book exposes the myth that the global warming theory is supported by a 'consensus of the world's top climate scientists'. It shows how the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is run by a small group of 'global warming' zealots, who have repeatedly rigged evidence to support their theory. But the politicians, pushed by the media, have so fallen for its propaganda that, short of dramatic change, our Western world now faces an unprecedented disaster.""

I'm not being rude, Sparkly, just accurate. You, on the other hand, are being both arrogant and ignorant simultaneously.

Keep reading your books from political activists. Other people will look at true evidence. Sea levels rising, polar caps melting. This is all drastic climate change that has only come about in "recent" (relatively) years.

The number of record high temperature events in the United States has been increasing, while the number of record low temperature events has been decreasing, since 1950.

[spathiphyllum]

Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by about 30 percent.13,14 This increase is the result of humans emitting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and hence more being absorbed into the oceans. The amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the upper layer of the oceans is increasing by about 2 billion tons per year.

climate change/global warming.

It is all a load of old cobblers just to make money out of spreading fear.

Yeah, you’re right. So let’s not change our habits nor make an effort.
Instead let’s bicker, pontificate, sit back and watch the world burn........

[spathiphyllum]

I have not

[Togo]

I am amazed at how indistinguishable an apparently scientific idea has become with an ideological crusade, resulting in the posturing by people who preen and promulgate as they present us with the 'consensus', then bully and attempt to intimidate those of us who disagree with their view. We who refuse to swallow the bait are deemed to be, yawn, right wing bigots and Trump worshippers. I suppose that makes those who have fallen for the con "Globalist Marxists" and Al Gore acolytes.

[sandyRoe]

Do we not owe it to posterity to be cautious? If what we're doing is having an effect we should try to reduce it.

[emmie]

surely bashing shirts against a rock mentality isn't going to work, we need sustainable change not airy fairy ideas.

[Togo]

We do indeed Sandy. But we also need to be cautious of wasting valuable resources on nonsense solutions for a problem that is as yet not proven to exist.
