I don't generally find it useful to engage in climate change discussions because for better or worse market participants have responded. So that's the process the world is implementing, regardless of what anyone feels about that. Those opposed to lower carbon emissions are in much the same position as the rioters in 1826 trying to stop the installation of power looms - en.wikipedia.org Whether the changes being made are fast enough is beyond my expertise, but only a wealthy nation like Germany can afford to take the lead in renewable development like they've done. And they still have a huge technological problem to solve, being able to store renewable power when it's created and use it when it's needed. A not insignificant part of Germany's shift to renewable energy has been "solved" by heavy energy users moving to France where nuclear plants make electricity cheap.

I would welcome a response from anybody who thinks I have my science, facts or history wrong, but I seldom get a reasoned rebuttal. I usually get an impassioned rebuke. I responded with about 6 direct and factual data points and charts. You've only responded to one of my points, and I've already shot that post down 100%. We cannot solve most of the problems the human species faces unless we face reality. But many people find that hard to do. But we either do it, or we perish as a species, I believe that. The race must be toast then, by your very own logic.
