| 1388416 | 2014-11-22 01:50:00 | It’s all about money because the following is how severe any temperature rise would be this Century by their own calculations. “Climate model projections were summarized in the 2013 Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) by the IPCC. They indicated that during the 21st century the global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 0.3 to 1.7 °C”. Big deal, given that the temperature swings at least 10°C degrees every day in most places, which is considered quite normal. The worst possible scenario of a possible average temperature rise of a whopping 1.7°C over the next 100 years, is insignificant at best and not worth wasting time on. However, there are Billions of dollars at stake here derived from taxes, and naturally the beneficiary’s don’t want that to dry up, and on the other hand, the Politicians don’t want to admit they were duped. :groan: |

| 1388420 | 2014-11-22 19:01:00 | Hiking taxes to stop climate change doesn't help the issue. Is the climate changing? Yes it is, are we accelerating that change inconclusive. Burying your head emu style doesn't make it go away either. Coming up with a better strategy than raising tax might help. Whining and moaning about it won't help. I'm not personally convinced we are making it worse at the moment because the scientists can't agree. But I do think there are things we can do to help. Take the Tessla car, it seems a good idea on paper. Make a car that doesn't use petrol Oh yay. Until you remember that most electricity is made from burning fossil fuels, Oh bugger. |
