Also; Storms are getting stronger http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/ClimateStorms/page2.php Droughts are getting worse 2015 was the hottest year on record (and saw a record jump). Climate change is causing food shortages, and they'll get worse.
2. Who said anything about replacing these systems overnight? Just because it won't happen over night doesn't mean we shouldn't bother. And no, you won't have to give up heating. I'd love to see your source for that.
3. 5 years is really fast in this context. That's one model cycle for a car. |
1. Then it's their problem to deal with, not mine. As far as more storms go though ...
Hurricanes are actually less frequent ...

There's hardly any relationship between warming and tornadoes ...
Droughts are not getting worse like the alarmists claimed when they don't understand that water gets conserved so it's practically redistributed ...
I would discard the claim of food shortages getting more prevalent in the future when most predictions are at least two decades away ...
2. We shouldn't bother on the account that it would hurt a lof of us economically speaking. Throwing out a relatively new car just so you can appeal to your inner snob by purchasing an electric car to save the evironment just shows how much of a foolish they are. You pretty much have to give up your heating system since it's ultimately either powered by coal or gas ...
3. 5 years really isn't short, that's about 5% of our lives. We really don't know if electric cars will get cheap enough either ...
