Climate Change and Global Warming are indeed a huge debate topic in all its chaos and controversy and mass media hysteria. Many say that we must act now to stop Global Warming; yet some say; Hey wait a minute not so fast there.
It is for this reason that the subject came up in an online think tank when one member stated rather matter of factly; “We need to be more aware of what is happening pattern wise and figure out if there is something humankind is doing to aggravate things, certainly. Maybe systems would still be strong, but not as destructive. I don't think we know enough about global warming to make that assumption, since every living entity, whether its a planet, has a natural cycle. We should focus on learning the cycle and move with it--not against it.”
Yes of course and if trees need CO2 don’t make it your sole goal to get rid of it all. Find out how much they need and can use and how much growth we can allow and how much oxygen is needed and figure it out that way. If we set forth a reality based plan and level playing field for the plan and if do not get caught up in runaway speculation, conspiracy theory, doom and gloom apocalypse scenarios we are more to the wise.
Mankind stands to lose a lot if he runs around destroying industry after industry, kills the middle class, slows the money flows to the world, people starve and less aid, infrastructure projects are produced for healthy human populations in the name of saving the planet from a hypothesis you see. After all mans worst enemy has always been himself and destroying civilization to chase a hypothetical seems rather unfortunate for future generations who could have done very well building on all we already have here.
Having read all the data and after reading from Ben Bova’s science fiction novels, Michael Crieghton’s new book, all the white papers on the Global Warming or Climate Change and consider all the needs for the flows of civilization, industry, economics and people issues, I often believe that we should build our civilizations bullet proof anyway, regardless of this current predicament whether imagined or reality based or even conspiracy “we are all going to die” theory. Perhaps we should all consider this in 2006.
