Just to put all that climate change BS into perspective....
- the climate has been changing for 4 6 billion years on this rock we call Earth..... get used to it.
- one fart from a volcano puts as much co2, sulphur and other noxious gases into the atmosphere that we as a species have done since the dawn of the industrial revolution with all our gadgets. There are multiple active volcano's around the world constantly spewing into the air and water.
- this planet cannot effectively sustain 8 billion humans.
I'm all for progress and development, but keep the politics out of it, perhaps put them into a volcano....
I'm also prepared to accept that the climate is changing, but am not necessarily convinced that it is solely down to human activity.
Just look at the geology of the land we are standing on, a lot of it was at the bottom of the ocean in pre-history.
OK, it makes some sense not to make things worse and perhaps save ourselves some money if we can reduce energy consumption, but as much effort needs to be put in to managing the the inevitable effects of climate change rather than trying to stop it. King Cnut springs to mind...
