No we wont die, but if we dont do SOMETHING we are going to have a much larger problem on our hands. And Kyoto is something even though I dont think the idea of trading pollution credits is a very workable idea.
Something is not the same as something good. The solution needs to be workable, now I have not read Kyoto, I probably should. But regardless the soolution to this whatever it may be needs to meet certain criteria. Such as cost-effectivness, efficacy etc etc. If Kyoto does not meet these, then there is no point in implementing it.
But glaciers and tectonic movements do ruin things. But nature can recover and adapt from these actions because they are Natural ruinations.( I dont think this is a word but i hope you get my point) Can nature recover from a completely MAN MADE disaster?
So... nature can recover from natural disasters, but not man made ones? There is something special about human released CO2? Is there some mystical property about it that makes it so natural processes cannot recycle it? Can plants not eventually absorb and use this CO2 for photosynthesis?
The massive emissions of CO2 are not natural and are having an effect on the climate. And the emissions dont look anywhere near slowing. What happens when we double the output in the next decades. How will the climate react?
Well first you have to show that the output will double. If we do simple things like stop burning coal and oil for our energy needs and switch to nuclear power, they will reduce, inovations in fuel efficiency are popular in cars these days etc etc etc. And again... not natural? Again I ask, is there something special about human-released carbon dioxide? The current levels of CO2 have come about through natural processes before I assure you, the earth can handle it (to a point)
How long will it take the Earth to adapt to this? Will we even last that long. If the climate shift causes huge population disruptions through drought, famine, or flooding can our societies cope with such a problem without complete collapse.
WOw, I love the scare mongering. FOr one, the earth's organisms can adapt to massive asteroid impacts, and the permian extinction was probably caused by a massive CO2 release from a series of vocanic eruption and catastrophic release from the oceanic CO2 sink. And look... nature survived.
Humans have this wondeful ability to change their environment to suit their needs. We can survive gradual coastal flooding and can *gasp* irrigate farm land, and can do so over long distances if need be. Of course, if the human population does drop, that will solve our CO2 emission problem now wont it? As cold as that sounds, that is the way nature works, if a population gets to large, nature bitchslaps it one way or the other.
But my point is that global warming is a man made disaster and I dont think the Earth will be able to correct this problem and be able to return to a normal balanced state before humans. We are completely fucking the Earth and we dont know if the Earth can handle it.
SPecial Co2?
