Check this countdown timer for when the atmosphere has 1,000,000,000,000 tonnes of carbon in it – which is approximately past the threshold when the atmosphere will go above 2 degrees average and the real climatic instability proceeds with potentially disasterous consequences predicted.

For example droughts/flooding ratios would become more extreme than they are. The world will continue to change and evolve until it goes over a certain point where the food chain starts to collapse and then that’s it for a few million years before life crawls back out of the rocks.

Most climate change deniers will be long dead before things get really nasty. It is the lack of responsibility for the people of the future that seems to be contrary to purposes of nations, of our species and of our world.

There will come a point where economic growth will become impossible, so why not take the reigns of it now and make energy non-carbon producing and sustainable? Why is this so hard? Because the oil companies will not own it and they are funding governments through the tax dollar?

If there is any danger that future generations will suffer, then we must understand the science. Listening to one entrapeneur (the guy that started the weather channel) talk about his complete disbelief in climate change is spooky. But when you realise that he is being paid to say what he is saying, his conviction is nothing less than hollow. His evidence is irrelevant – merely things her heard someone say was good enough science to him. He is no qualified sceptic.

And to counter this (apparently) right-wing claim that climate change is merely a scam: prove it. It is your responsibility to prove that your pollution is harmless before it destroys everything. Got it?

There is plenty of evidence that pollution causes death. There is plenty of evidence that the atmosphere is being unnaturally loaded with our pollutants and we have no right under God or Nature to so abuse our environment just so some balance sheet looks nice.

There is plenty to say that we destroyed careful balances nature had established since the last great extinction of 80% of all live on earth. It is possible that a natural catastrophie will get us first before climate change makes modern life impossible.

Modern man has only been around for a fraction of the planet’s natural history. Let’s not let go of that which nature has taken so long to organise before giving us the minds with which to briefly appreciate it, turn it into art and then systematically destroy it. Our representations of nature will be all we have to remember it by.
