You can do better than 'seasons exist therefore man-made climate change isn't real'.
The writing is more than on the wall though folks. I'll keep posting until Dan Druff thinks this is no longer related to Las Vegas. :)
I definitely believe we need to move away from fossil fuels and more to green energy wherever and whenever we can. It's really the future. But it has to be at a pace that is sustainable and doesn't cost two billion dollars per person. I don't go along with the "sky is falling" alarmism. We have plenty of time to adapt.
The emission rate is still growing. Seeing crazy outliers in temps at times. Lots of talks of the antarctic sea ice hitting new lows. A lot of the buffers have been filling up. A few feedback cycles may mitigate this but it seems far more will work against it.
Look at the utter craziness of Cali weather. Infrastructure isn't made for that.
It isn't 2 billions a person (although I realize you weren't serious about that number) - it is just not possible at all to maintain our standard of living.
If we moved to no more fossil fuels heat will go up more due to lack of aerosols.
The time to act was a decade ago but sustainable approaches to life mean a decrease in standard of living. This goes 100% against capitalism. Capitalism has worked to make everything cheaper which just means more stuff is created and even more of a strain. It has increased our lifestyle and the expense of the future.
