If all the different groups listed above aren't proof enough that people are getting on board with action to create a clean energy future, a 2017 Pew Research survey showed that an overwhelming majority of people worldwide believe the climate crisis is a major threat — with respondents in 13 countries, mostly in Latin America and Africa, identifying global climate change as the topmost threat to their nation.

Proponents of climate action see the prospect of EPA's rules as a not - so - secret weapon for motivating Congress to move faster on legislation, which the Obama administration and many lawmakers have said is a better way to mitigate climate change while minimizing costs.

Yet a leading U.S. Senate advocate of legislative action on climate seems to be starting off like a sprinter, perhaps because his legislation is pegged to estimates of the Social Cost of Carbon that don't account for the possibility that climate change will turn out to be catastrophically costly.

I differ too in that I'm an environmentalist and think generally global warming is a farce and we'd be better to spend the money on stopping pollution of rivers and oceans, buying the amazon, and researching and finding action plans for when oceans do rise, as they will one day, man made climate change or not.

Sadly, the reality of Keystone XL has been masked by $ 10s of millions (if not $ 100s of millions) of propaganda distorting its economic implications and downplaying its climate change impacts (in the shadow of $ billions spent to undermine understanding of and action on climate change).

As we point out in other posts, many (if not all) political arguments for action on climate change seem to be out of kilter with the «consensus» — take, for example, our many posts on Caroline Lucas, who invents the «consensus» on the fly.

We're not offering a «counter-claim» about the science, because our position is that even the concrete, incontrovertible, unassailable fact of human influence on global warming and climate change does not, by itself, make a case for action.

The current negotiating text for Rio +20 does not fully and explicitly recognise the urgent need to act on climate change as part of a global action plan for delivering sustainable development.

We believe it does not because those causing climate change have had clear ethical duties to reduce the threat of climate change once they were put on notice that their actions were likely putting others at great risk.

The reasons include a lack of relevant city policies and action plans; existence of regulations on urban planning and environment which have not been adjusted to manage climate change; slow response to climate disasters due to lack of capacity and resources; and lack of public awareness on climate variability and climate change - induced hazard mitigation.

While publics in both rich and poor nations are generally supportive of their own governments taking action to curb greenhouse gas emissions, in principle many people believe that wealthy societies, not poor economies, should take on more of the responsibility for addressing climate change.

Bast and Spencer's beef, however, isn't with the scientific consensus on whether man - made climate change is happening (although you'd be forgiven for thinking so, being that a favorite tactic of those who oppose action on climate change is to simply deny, deny, deny).

«Trump doesn't speak for America on climate change — not for the majority of U.S. citizens who support action on climate change, nor for the 2,500 cities, counties, states, businesses and universities that have pledged their support for the Paris Agreement goals.»

A constant theme of the Progressive Left is that the fundamental reason why America is not taking effective action on climate change is that action is being blocked by right - wing politicians in the US Congress and in numerous state governments who are being funded by fossil fuel interests to oppose anti-carbon legislation.

However the platform does not directly mention climate change or global warming, and does not acknowledge the clear scientific consensus on both the degree of human attribution and the urgency of action on the issue of climate change.

Lord Stern, the former World Bank chief economist whose landmark report on the economics of climate change warned the world risked plunging into economic depression if action was not taken urgently on greenhouse gases, said carbon trading was a «key plank» in dealing with climate change.
