Even the United Nations admits the Cancún meeting is unlikely to produce an international pact on how to deal with global warming. We should not allow international discord to persuade us that tackling climate change is impossible, however. Taking steps to curb carbon emissions is a reasonable premium for catastrophe insurance: we cannot gamble with the planet.
The risk of climate change is among the most complex collective challenges humanity confronts. It is not surprising there is no easy resolution. But progress has been made since the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. Then, climate change was a minority concern; now, most scientists agree that man-made global warming is a real, urgent crisis.
People need to relax and stop being idiots.
There is nothing new under the Sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:9-14
One of my favorite scriptures from my favorite book.
We cannot gamble with the planet
I wonder if some politicians and scientists use global warming money to gamble with? Cancun have casinos?
