Steve Shaw BS: Serious Yet Abt Ending Climate Change? (121* d) RE: BS: Serious Yet Abt Ending Climate Change? 02 Dec 16


Why are you so insistant on playing a blame game?
Global warming is caused by the impact of people and the most climate stressed area of the world is also the area with the highest projected population growth. Can you not get it through your head that if the population growth is not controlled by humans, then natural processes will control it,and that outcome will not be pretty. All your game of blame allocation is doing is to draw attention away from procedures that could possibly help and reduce the human suffering. The cart and the horse are all part of the same problem - we are the problem.
We all know America is a greedy consumer of energy, we do not need you to highlight it each time you post.
It is the volume of people degrading the planet. If you are so insistant on conserving energy why do you waste so much posting every opportunity on most threads? Are your views so inportant they justify the waste of so much energy?


If you want to post in this aggressive and insulting fashion, I suggest that you take care to get your facts right lest you have the object of your aggression rubbing his hands with glee,

However.

Global warming is overwhelmingly caused by carbon dioxide emissions. "Impact of people" as any sort of meaningful explanation simply doesn't cut it.

Climate-stressed areas (whatever that's supposed to mean) are not caused by large population or by poverty, etc. They are caused by carbon dioxide emissions leading to global warming, which respects neither boundaries, population or prosperity. Yes the poorest with the least resources will be hit first. But the problem of climate change, which we are supposedly discussing here, is overwhelmingly caused by emissions from the US, China, Russia and Europe, all of which have relatively low population growth rates. Your obsession with burgeoning population in areas that hardly contribute to global warming at all is a complete red herring. It is an issue, but not the issue of this thread. What on earth was the point of producing your very useful graph if you're then going to completely ignore the obvious conclusions be be drawn from it?

Read your biggest paragraph again in my quote. It's aimless, unfocused twaddle. And my saying that is far less aggressive or insulting than the remarks aimed at me in the quote.
