    I'm curious as to why the Independent chose a picture of reactor silos for this piece.

    Were they trying to connect nuclear reactors to global warming (oddly incorrect) or were they sending the message that we may need to rely on nuclear reactors to cut our CO2 emissions? 

    Edit : my mistake, those are cooling towers for a coal power plant. Didn't see that the first time.

    John Wehrle Cooling towers all start to look the same. ;-)

    I keep pondering if El Nino has something to do with it this year, but the longer it goes on the less faith in that option I have...

    John Wehrle As Craig said, deleted I was.

    Global warming and climate change are a bit different, from my understanding. Warming is a global process that's been going on in 4 of the last 5 mass extinctions. Climate change is related, but is an interim process.

    My concerns fall under the phrases: "Overshoot and Collapse" due to the "poisoning of the planet," which is evident from the "decreasing resources crisis" spreading out of California to the Dust Bowls of this and every other continent and the mass migrations of folks looking for a calmer, cooler and damper climate in which to survive. Their problems now are with those already occupying those resources who have no desire to share with THEM, whoever they are or where they are from. Conflicts for those decreasing/disappearing resources seem inevitable to me. As the Arctic tundra thaws, releasing it's methane, I don't see how most, if not all of us Apex Consumers will evolve fast enough to survive on this planet. We simply don't reproduce, adapt and evolve fast enough.

    But I could be wrong. We've no history of surviving/evolving such a process.

    Don Graham​ The terms "global warming" and "climate change" refer to the same phenomenon: anthropogenically induced changes to the atmosphere that result in a global (worldwide average) increase in the Earth's surface air temperature and the various effects/problems that causes.

    Mankind will survive even the worst-case scenario, but our quality of life may take a substantial hit and not all areas that support humanity today may continue to do so.

    Thanks for the knowledge.
