The Guardian's Editorial

The things that make me scream... Quotes taken from the Guardian's Editorial today

1. "Unless we combine to take decisive action, climate change will ravage our planet, and with it our prosperity and security." - climate change has always occurred and will always "ravage" our planet...

2. "Climate change has been caused over centuries, has consequences that will endure for all time and our prospects of taming it will be determined in the next 14 days. - climate changes has always occurred, not just over the past few centuries, and how in the hell will humans tame the climate??? Really????

3. "Overcoming climate change will take a triumph of optimism over pessimism,..." - overcoming climate change??? Really? That is absolutely absurd!!!

Let's say I have a magic wand - and with the wand, I can keep the earth's climate stationed on one climate value. All I ask the nation's is to tell me what year they want the climate set to, and it will be like that forever. Could 5% of the nations agree to the year the climate should be set to? 1940? 1955? 1970? 1820? Tell me the year, I'll make it happen. Unfortunately, it will never happen because nations would never agree to the year. There is no magic wand.

If the predictions are true, the earth will warm substantially, causing humans to drastically change they way they cope in the environment. Cutting carbon dioxide now will not change anything now. Fortunately, the earth will survive, the climate will change in the future, it will get cooler (maybe 1000 years from now) and humans will be forgotten.
