You still haven't presented any alternative. The world isn't going to just stop unless it goes BOOM!
What is this smorgasbord?
It's science, when the best science says that continously driving the global environment into a higher state by uncontrolled emissions of greenhouse gases while at the same time destroying some of the most important carbon sinks we risk some very negative consquences many of which we've already seen in early stages, we can listen or decide to ignore the warnings.
I've already posted on many of the serious consequences like:
- Loss of species diversity due to rapid migration of habitat zones polewards, the associated biotas(plants, animal, fungi, bacteria, etc.. can't follow quickly enough and die off as they are no longer able to find the habitat they evolved for)
- Increases in extreme weather events that we';ve already seen extensively in the past decade like tornados, hurricanes, doughts, floods, etc...
- Rising sea levels as the cryosphere melts, the more greenhouse gases we pump into the atmosphere the quicker this happens.
- Food shortages that can threaten the lives of millions.
- Water shortages.
That's just to start with, according to some NASA researchers if we burn all available fossil fuels we could push the global environment over a threshold that results in a runaway greenhouse effect.
There are a lot of alternatives to what we're doing, the negative effects are already serious and cost citizens billions of dollars a year in losses, not to mention the loss of life.
I know this is just one big joke to some people, I don't get it and I truly wouldn't want to think the way some of you do, it must be a very lonely way to live.
