Why do you think there is an "issue"?Because there is extensive scientific evidence that increased levels of CO2 in the air are correlated to higher global temperatures. And because an additional rise in global temperature of several more degrees Celsius will be far more expensive for the world economy to handle than trying to head it off by creating reasonable incentives for reducing the consumption of fossil fuel. What I would like to see is more research into possible negative feedback mechanisms. Just because selected scientists were wrong in 1973 (and there was far less research then than there is now) doesn't mean they are fully wrong now. I definitely think some scientists are crying wolf. That doesn't mean we can assume there is no wolf. |
