The Global Warming Scam

NPR was talking about this the other day. It's a spiralling affect that, frankly, there's little we can do about. It would take the unified effort of the entire world over the next 30 years to reverse the effects of greenhouse gases. Unfortunately, the world is anything but unified on this issue.
We can debate about this all we want. GW is pretty much unstoppable at this stage in the game. NPR was talking about this the other day.

If we think that by presenting the facts in a forthright and honest matter will change people's minds then we are living in fantasy world. People (like the originator of this thread) have made an emotional decision that GW is a scam, and no amount of evidence will change their mind. There are also people who may very well accept the facts but see no reason to change their lifestyle unless everyone else does first.

There ARE "ozone hole deniers", ya know....... There are people who think that was also a lie purported by big brother....

Like some others on here, I am convinced that there is little we can do stop global warming. We are currently at 380 ppm or so. Many believe the point of no return is around 450. But since we're never going to be able to convince the opposition, the point of no return might as well have been 350, which we already passed long ago.What we (those of us who are sane enough to honestly want a cleaner planet) ought to do now is prepare the world for what's to come. For example, Australia has recently adjusted their entire economic system to deal with the changes. In the 80s, Australia was the biggest exporter of grain. They now have no export at all. Their people have finally realized that the 2 decades long drought they've been having is no drought at all but actually climate change in action. You see, drought ends. If you have a period of decreased precipitation that lasts forever, it's not a drought. It's climate change.

But, if cutting human CO2 emissions doesn't have any effect then none of that will change but many others besides would be affected unnecessarily.

As I said to jar, combatting CO2 emmisions will cost people their livelihood, and I'd hate to see that done if it isn't of any use.

Also, as I pointed out to jar if it isn't CO2 emmisions it is something else, and maybe we will miss out on what we might have been able to do with whatever else is causing the problem.
