Actually climate change is/will be a root cause of global starvation.....and we've already seen the impact of that in certain spots of the world with unprecedented drought and famine......does not matter if its global warming, cooling, drying or soaking, but drastic climate change is a root cause of global starvation.....and I'd like to see us be proactive about that than reactive about that.
We have the technology, know how, funds and ability to be proactive about it....or are we going to continue down the path of denial and special interests that make problem solving so difficult and divisive?
If we address and approach climate change with an even hand and recognition of what/where/ and how the damage will be done, we will avoid a lot of negative consequences and the result will be a cleaner globe, but also a more self sufficient one with better fueling and farming techniques....not to mention a safer world with healthier people....i often wonder why people are afraid of this issue, and then I read stories about scientists and politicians on the take from special interests and becomes a bit more clear.....their bottom line over the public good, I guess, and as long as we still have the best government money can buy, their bottom line will always win out, regardless of issue, regardless of party in power.
But, its easy to harpoon any environment issues with the threat of recession and loss of jobs, but it seems that not paying attention to the environment is having the same sort of consequences.....so again its public good vs private corporate, special interests.....we lose everytime.
