A good book to read.
Introduction to Modern Climate Change
by Andrew Dessler |
Al lot of the evidence I have seen has been circumstantial. Now with that being said I do believe man is having a negative impact on the world. Not by the emissions we produce so much as to the amount of deforestation we practice. People assume its just the gases we produce when in fact its the filters (trees) we have removed. The WORST offender of this is Brazil. However our governments think taxing its OWN people will solve the issue. One thing I can tell you with 100% certainty is taxes will not fix the Ozone. Comprehensive forestation will. Our Oceans are now the biggest producer of C02 due to their acidity PEOPLE gave them by removing so much of what filtered the air (trees). Turning off all man made things (cars, factories, planes) wouldn't make a difference because of this. It would take a 100+ years of ZERO fossil fuel burning and 100% of the air forests INTACT to turn this thing around. (That was the study numbers I read a few years back).
So the bottom line is stop crying about carbon taxes. They are just to make the rich richer. Go out side and plant a tree and write a letter to the UN to embargo any nation that practices slash and burn deforestation.
