And I know I've told this story several times, but when I was doing my BSc degree at university I learnt about a chemical that is 17,500 times more potent than CO2 and produced in fairly substantial quantities, but it isn't even taken into consideration when talking about emissions. I'll take my girlfriends' fathers' point of view on climate change, he's worked as a climatologist for 30 years so I trust him. Humans are having an impact on the climate, but what the media and politicians say is a over hyped. Even so it is hard to measure. To summarise, my viewpoint is that I believe humans are having an effect on climate change, but it's not 'as bad' as what the media and politicians say, which is a distorted worst case scenario. But regardless of if you accept it is happening or not an effort must be made to switch to renewable/clean energy and eliminate pollution, because climate change is not the only adverse effect that comes from emissions. |
yeah, and the fossil fuels are running out too, so need be replaced
