: 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?

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.

After all, the air, land and seas are being relentlessly polluted with human waste products; fresh water, fish stocks, food reserves, fossil fuels, and wetlands are being depleted at an alarming rate; the catastrophic effects of massive over-consumption and unrestrained hoarding of resources can not be sustained much longer by our small, finite, fragile planetary home.

If per human overconsumption of scarce resources; unbridled economic globalization overspreading the surface of our planetary home; and the skyrocketing increase of absolute global human population numbers could be occurring synergistically in our time and could have something to do with the distinctly human - driven predicament which looms ominously before humanity, does it make sense to consider, just for a moment, what might to done to set limits on these overgrown human activities?

Afterall, the air, land and seas are being relentlessly polluted with human waste products; fresh water, fish stocks, food reserves, fossil fuels, and wetlands are being depleted at an alarming rate; the catastrophic effects of massive over-consumption and unrestrained hoarding of resources can not be sustained much longer by our small, finite, fragile planetary home.

while in the context of the ongoing climate debate we continue — albeit with some embarrassment — to employ the scientifically meaningless phrase «climate change», we recognise that, in principle, a planetary warming to fend off otherwise imminent glacial inception, together with CO2 greening (the latter offsetting loss of vegetation footprint, the only real environmental concern) is having broad positive impacts on society, including the global economy, natural resources, and human health.
