This isn't just about climate change, and it's striking.

When we let politics trump science, people are needlessly put in harm's way. http://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/self-censoring-fears...

ReplyDeleteSad to see but we will eventually end life as we know it as humans. We are destroying the planet. A planet that has been here for millions/billions of years.
ReplyDeleteIt may take a long time but the planet will regenerate itself, minus our selfish species and perhaps llamas will be the dominant occupants.
Or even cats.....
Bob Jewels We're not destroying the planet; it'll be fine for billions more years. However, we're making a mess of its ability to support our species.
ReplyDeleteSteve S yes, that's what I meant to say. It's Saturday and I have had half a bottle of wine......lol
ReplyDeleteThe planet is not "in danger". Biodiversity is in danger. But with time, it will come back.
ReplyDeleteHuman beings are not in danger. With 7 billion, we are safe.
What is in danger is the present industrial society, with this idea of infinite growth, always more energy, more resources.
And don't dream about so called renewable, except if you believe 9, 12, 14 and 19 are environmental friendly.
The solution is less waste, less growth, allowing growth for the others but stop the growth in the west.
Wow!!! Horrible, now I need to go get drunk
ReplyDeleteHow horrible hands handsome hippy happy happen hope
ReplyDeleteOlivier Malinur said: "stop the growth in the west"
ReplyDeleteHuh?? The west isn't really growing... something like 90% of all new population over the next 30 years will be coming from Africa and Asia.
I am not talking about demographic growth.
ReplyDeleteThe west, despite demographic stagnation, keeps consuming more resources.
Olivier Malinur But per capita growth in consumption also lags behind Africa and Asia. The West, while consuming more per person, is trending downwards while the developing world is trending dramatically upwards.
ReplyDeleteLet's start by reducing the consumption of those who have the greatest impact on resources.
ReplyDeleteIf each of the 300 million citizens of USA, for example, decreases its CO2 and CH4 emissions of 10%, it will more than compensate the necessary growth of developing countries, which, btw, are often having a very good carbon balance sheet (hydroelectric).
Olivier Malinur No, sorry, your math is way off. The "necessary growth" in developing countries MUST be done sustainably from here forward. We can't have India and Bangladesh and China and Brazil, for example, relying substantially on coal for all their new power demands or the world will be a magnitude worse off in 20 years than it is now, regardless of how clean the US and Europe become. Remember that the developing world has about 5 times the population of industrialized nations. The developing world surely doesn't want to, nor should it have to, wait on the US and Europe to reduce our environmental footprints before they can start growing. I just saw a story that something like 60% of the US' coal-fired power plants are being decommissioned. That's pretty rapid change, but that gain would be overwhelmed in the opposite direction if the developing world replicates all our mistakes.
