In light of these matters, why would we want to expend the energy and resources to treat a symptom of planetary CO2 poisoning and take all the risks that LG describes when it pretty clear that the best approach is a wildly ambitious conversion to very low emission energy / transportation / agriculture systems followed by a wildly ambitious global program of CO2 sequestration / removal from the oceans and / or atmosphere to push the needle back down under 400 ppm in a decade or two at most?

Because the planetary home we inhabit is finite, the Earth's relatively small size and make - up present the family of humanity with limitations to the growth of its population size, its consumption of resources and the expansion of the manmade global economy.

If human - induced global warming, among other factors such as human - driven pollution and human - forced overpopulation, serve decisively to precipitate the massive extinction of biodiversity, the irreversible degradation of Earth's environment and the reckless dissipation of its resources, so as to make our planetary home unfit for life as we know it, then is no one to bear responsibility for such a colossal wreckage as we could help to perpetrate in these early years of Century XXI?

: Re sunshades, yes, what LG said at 14, plus, the shades do nothing to reduce the ocean acidification... why would we want to expend the energy and resources to treat a symptom of planetary CO2 poisoning and take all the risks that LG describes when it pretty clear that the best approach is a wildly ambitious conversion to very low emission energy / transportation / agriculture systems **** concurrent with, and achieved by the same means, *** a wildly ambitious global program of CO2 sequestration / removal... and... under *** 300 ppm *** in 20 — 100 years, at most?

We got the idea together just by talking and laughing about the absurdity of the notion that the way out of this planetary crisis — which is deeply rooted in overuse of scarce resources — is to go out and «shop to save the planet.»

It is simply this: Earth's body is finite, its resources are limited, and its ecosystem services capable of irreversible degradation by the huge scale and anticipated growth of human over-consumption, overproduction and overpopulation activities, the ones we see rampantly overspreading the surface of our planetary home in our time.

Perhaps many too many leaders of the global political economy are spurning the moral obligations, responsibilities and duties associated with their stations in life by turning a blind eye to the gigantic scale and anticipated growth of human over-consumption, overproduction and overpopulation activities that can be seen precipitating the extirpation of species like the polar bear, the reckless dissipation of non-renewable natural resources and the drastic degradation of the environs of our planetary home.

Unintended, pernicious challenges resulting from unrestrained increase of per capita over-consumption of Earth's finite resources appear to be threatening to ravage our planetary home.

Please forgive me for stating the obvious: there are mountains of scientific evidence, plenty of sound reasons and abundant common sense imploring the leaders of India, China, the US and the rest of the over-developed and under - developed world to consider that the seemingly endless, global expansion of large - scale industrialization and production capabilities, now overspreading the surface of Earth, could be approaching a point in history when these unbridled big - business activities could dangerously destablize frangible global ecosystems, irreversibly degrade the environment, recklessly dissipate Earth's natural resource base and, perhaps, destroy our planetary home as a fit place for human habitation by our children.
