GT-Boy:There is no evidence to suggest that the expensive solutions that the politicians are recommending will stop or even slow down Climate Change. It's quire possible that we could follow every one of their recommendations, spend Trillion$ and make no impact on the climate whatsoever.
Science has recommendations and I see the logic behind the science and their results but I think that the approach is the wrong one. Stopping climate change is impossible if only a few countries (mostly Western countries) adopt strict climate protection protocols. It just isn't working, every climate change expert can tell you that.
Yes, there is a climate change (whoever denies it also probably thinks that there earth is flat or there never has been a moon landing) but even if most scientific data suggests humans are to blame for it, we cannot stop it in time to avoid the changes. We need to be realistic here and not stubborn, destroying strong economies in the name of a cause which isn't really supported by many countries on this planet. We do not live isolated on Earth, we live together. If your neighbor decides he doesn't want to throw his trash into trash cans but in the nearby river, there is nothing you can do about it. We lost the power of influence when we put our economies first and started manufacturing stuff in China and other countries and when we decided to make ourselves dependent of gas from Russia and oil from the Middle East.
Fact is: The West is done if we continue this way. Morality doesn't feed your kids and morality doesn't prevent conflicts/wars.
We need to adopt to climate change, this is the most viable way and probably the cheapest one as well.
Technology and science can do a lot to make the adaptation possible but instead, we put all of our energy into making people's lives harder and more expensive. How long do you think normal people with low/average incomes will play this game? Political radicalization happens for a reason and it isn't difficult to understand what is going on there.
You cannot expect people in the West to make less money, to have less comfort and to suffer, while people in other countries are starting to profit from our changes for the sake of saving the climate. We cannot save the climate alone and the others just don't want/care. Lots of big words from China and others when it comes to protecting this planet but the reality is: Countries like China, Russia, India and others don't give a fuck. They just agree to certain stuff here and there to make their Western counterparts and business partners happy but the population couldn't care less.
Adaptation to climate change is the solution and trying to find indefinite(!) energy sources like fusion or even renewable energies. I like Germany's approach regarding green energy BUT this is something you can do when you have the safety of a nuclear backup plan. We don't. Once we have sufficient renewable energy, we can afford the luxury of saying good-bye to nuclear plants but right now? Big mistake. Also...even with renewable energy, energy will be needed more and more in the future, look at electric cars for example. So in the end, we are going to have a mix of renewable energy like wind, water, solar and...fusion. This is the only thing making sense for a bright future. Period.
I hope that at some point in the future, energy cost will be ridiculously low. This is the moment we all will prosper because everything is based on energy, our whole life and modern tech.
