In this next election, we need to decide
whether we are going to build on the successes of the Obama administration — which has used a combination of bold executive actions and international diplomacy to achieve action on
climate change even in the presence of intransigence, denial and outright hostility from congressional republicans — or
whether we are going to retreat back into the energy - equivalent of the stone age, continuing to degrade our planet through the profligate burning of increasingly dangerous fossil carbon
even as the rest of the world moves forward, embracing the renewable energy revolution destined to be the hallmark of the 21st century.
Whether to

Simply put the
climate change debate is strictly
whether it is
changes to the incoming or outgoing energy that is causing a shift in the equilibrium temperature and all evidence points to the fact that it is the
changes to the incoming energy that is by far the dominant driver with
changes to the outgoing energy from the enhanced greenhouse effect too insignificant to
even be detected.

Even the tired old cliche that environmentalists all hail from the political left is a little hard to swallow these days — with Wal Mart's Lee Scott talking about rethinking the way we consume, and T Boone Pickens investing in wind, Exxon backtracking on man made

whether we should care for the environment anymore, just how we should go about doing it.
Also, a recent article on
climate - vegetation dynamics concludes that, due to poor scientific understanding of ecological thresholds and their relationship to

I'm relatively optimistic that we'll deal with
climate change, what I'm not optimistic about is
whether we'll manage to deal with it in anything resembling an «easy» way — I forsee us getting to a point mid-century (or
even earlier) when we finally realise we're basically f*cked if we don't get CO2 levels down to something like 350ppm / quickly /, and we have to put the whole world's economy on a total war footing in a desperate attempt to get there.
