Global Warming, er Climate Change is a National Security Threat
|
Quote:Interesting thread. I tend to think that global warming is a real possibility, although rates and impacts are much more up for discussion. What intrigues me is that (while I haven't read this whole thread), I haven't seen anyone discuss much of 'what if the other side is right'? Just for kicks, If you are of the opinion that global warming is not a big problem, what would you suggest we do if it is? Conversely, if you think it is a grave risk, what actions would be unwarranted if it is not? As someone who thinks the warming is beneficial, I still think that nuclear power is a good thing. It provides continuous stable electricity, the fuel costs are stable, and the death rates per kilowatt-hour are less than any other source of electrical energy. Right now it is somewhat more expensive than natural gas or coal, but it's way cheaper than wind or solar, and with less environmental impact. But it wouldn't make much difference. Short of economic war with China and India, nothing the US and Europe can do will meaningfully change future temperatures, whether or not you believe the dogma. If you read just the Global Warming Climate Change press releases you'd think the world was doomed. The published science shows a much less scary reality, but that doesn't sell papers. "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?" |
