Scientific studies indicate that extreme weather events such as heat waves and large storms are likely to become more frequent or more intense with human-induced climate change.
The negative impacts of global climate change will be less severe overall if people reduce the amount of greenhouse gases we’re putting into the atmosphere and worse if we continue producing these gases at current or faster rates.
Is it an existential threat - is it something that is unsustainable, or what kind of effect or harm is this going to hold? We know that humans hold most flourished during times of, or what,warming trends? conclude we know what the ideal surface temperature should be in the year 2100 or year 2018? It’s fairly arrogant for us to think we know precisely what it should be in 2100.
There is no one perfect temperature for the soil, but there is for us humans, and that’s the temperature we’ve had over the final few thousands of years when we built our civilization,agriculture, economy, or infrastructure. Global average temperature over the final few millennia has fluctuated by a few tenths of degrees; today,it’s risen by nearly 1°C and counting.
Why conclude we care? Because we are perfectly adapted to our current conditions…Renewables need to be part of our energy mix, but to think that’s going to be the dominant fuel, or dominant energy source on how we generate electricity,I think is simply fanciful … There was a declared war on coal. The EPA was weaponized against certain sectors of our economy – fossil fuels generally - and that’s not the role of a regulator.[Paris] was a bad business deal for this country … it was not approximately CO2 reduction. If it was approximately CO2 reduction, they would not hold let China and India grasp until 2030 to reduce their CO2 footprint.
