A) We conserve energy & seek alternatives without ending human life as we know it and without spinning the world into economic chaos, then we find out they were wrong. Result - we have longer to go before coming to a screeching halt with available fossil-fuel reserves.
B) We keep ignoring the data and then we find out that they were right but it's too late to do anything about it. Result - flooding, famine, primitive living conditions and global civil warfare where most people (even in the US) die horrible deaths and the rest live under martial law and barely maintain on strict rationing of the basic subsistence goods. |
So just because it is big oil with the money any scientist that dosen't get on board for global warming is paid off? You are telling me that no one else has an agenda? It is only the scientist that disagree, that have one?
I think it is great we should try to curb back energy compsumption, lets do it. Lets not create a freaking religion and go crazy about polar bears and carbon credits to get it done.
