That's a very pretty speech, and it's totally wrong-headed.
There is no going back. The planet is not heating, it is cooling
inexorably and will continue doing so for millions of years;
slowing down and cooling as the sun burns up.Compounded
by the Melnakovich cycle currently wrenching us away.
Which is why heating it up with increased population and burning
our reserves of fossil fuels is such a temptation for us.
Looking over the climate change arguments, where an individual
breathing out carbon dioxide is neutral because a plant will use it to
make food is biased. Too politically correct to be useful. If cutting down
a forest is depricing us of a gas sink, adding billions of people makes it
worst. Has to.
Sorry, but I live in Canada and need to heat where I live in the winter!!
We need to start looking at stable societies for the long haul.
