We Exist To Win Premierships
And here we have the classic case of "I'm not anti-science" followed by bashing of science.
You want to know whether changes are good or bad? Go read some of the scientific literature! See how mass extinction of flora and fauna and massive changes in farming region climates are likely to affect our ability to feed the world. Anybody even considering that the sort of changes projected might be "good" needs their head read and have been completely and utterly brainwashed by climate deniers.
Debate what we should do all you want, but these are some basic scientific facts that need to be acknowledged:
1. The climate is changing faster than ever in recorded history.
2. This is predominantly driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases.
3. This is causing significant challenges to the long-term livability of the planet in terms of producing the resources humanity requires (ignoring the significant environmental impacts).
and 4. These challenges will be significantly exacerbated without deep cuts in emissions within the next few decades.
Until you acknowledge these things as being true, as acknowledged by the vast, vast, vast majority of the scientific community, you're just putting your head in the sand. You have the temerity to suggest that it's "alarmist positions" (aka the ones who are generally linked with the science) that are preventing action while you trash a working carbon price, complain about vested interests in AGW without doing the same for fossil fuel companies and talk about "all polution not just CO2" as though there is evidence of a challenge remotely as big as climate change out there. You criticise those who take the problem seriously as preventing progress on the issue while consistently refusing to acknowledge the reality of the issue we face. Frankly you've made so many anti-scientific comments in this thread that on this topic you're nothing more than a troll.
Troll?
I'm building a business based on a cleaner future.
All I'm suggesting is people should be proactive and be positive. Arm waving alarmists and lobby groups simply get in the way of action.
What camp do you sit in? action or arm waving?
