"What is being said is that this WILL fix everything, so there is no need to bother with any solutions to the effects of global warming. NO-ONE is trying to deal with the problems. " bb

That is just not true, bb. A two-part error in your thinking. #1) That is NOT what we are saying. #2): Perhaps you are not aware of it but there are a LOT of places and people who are and have been for some time trying to make a difference. Even some states- Massachusetts and California, for just two.


"When ALL of these questions have been addressed, THEN I think we can safely tamper with the CO2 in the atmosphere- BUT we can start to deal with the effects of global warming NOW, BEFORE the inevitable disruptions have altered our ability to take any effective action at all." bb


What are you saying? Surely you don't mean this part? "When ALL of these questions have been addressed, THEN I think we can safely tamper with the CO2 in the atmosphere" bb

You're talking as though the atmosphere needs all that CO2? As though we would damage something if we reduced it- or at least kept ourselves from adding to it forever. (!)
