Kurt, I'm not trying to convince anyone. That last post of mine was mostly about former astronaut Harrison “Jack” Schmitt, the only scientist to walk on the moon, and a geologist. He was a hero of mine when I was younger, and I'm really disappointed that he is a denier, and a wingnut. He should know better.
However, I think I should say a couple of things about your last post:
Anyway, most global warming alarmist seem to think it's too late to reverse at this point.
Yes, global warming is already here. But its severity will be proportional to the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. If we stopped emitting right now, we would get a temperature increase of only a few degrees. But if we keep emitting carbon dioxide at elevated rates, like we are doing now, the temperature increase will be greater, and it will happen faster. Doing nothing is not an option.
What I'm saying is, for those who believe and who care...DO SOMETHING.
The suburbs pollute as well as industry. So look in the mirror. Look at your own property, look around your neighborhood, realize you're living in a desert, accept responsibility, and do something.
I do not believe that just letting people behave will work. It's not enough. For instance, some of the major emitters are industrial operations. Governments have to impose policies and regulations. People won't do it alone, specially considering the lack of knowledge of this subject and the amount of horseshit out there regarding this subject.
