We've had warm periods, ice ages, been hit by objects from outer space.
The big question is what is driving the climate change and the correlations are not matching what the populists are saying. That means we are either wringing our hands at the wrong question, wasting manpower and resources, depriving the poor of advancement, a whole host of things. We may be powerless to do anything because it is little to do with what we are doing so we are just causing harm in the same way that panic over ***ushima caused more harm than the reactor itself.
We seem to be running into an era of fake news where any popular story just builds up its own momentum and objective criticism is bullied out to the edges. It is now proposed to not connect new builds to the gas mains, sounds as dumb to me as everyone should go out and buy a diesel policy (something professional engineers would never have proposed)
Just give me the facts, the correlations and not the suppositions. Thanks.
