[QUOTE="Ophiolite, post: 75010928, member: 234799"] Irrelevant. We are in the here and now. And here and now these changes are: [LIST] [*]Extremely rapid. (Irrelevant if anything that fast happened in the past.) [*]Demonstrably related to human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels. (If you disagree I have a stunning sales offer for you: a bridge in New York. You'll just love it.) [*]Responsible for consequences (many of them already evident) that even at best have major, and in some cases devastating, impacts on human populations, settlements, economies, agriculture, business, health, local/regional/international cooperation, not to mention the effects on the biosphere at large. [/LIST] And the solutions have the following benefits: [LIST] [*]Improved quality of life, planet-wide [*]Minimal cost (unless you are CEO of a large oil company, or the like) [*]More robust environment [*]Greater appreciation of the biosphere [/LIST] So, even if we were totally mistaken, the solutions would leave us with a better planet. Denying this opportunity just marks one out as a threat to civilisation. Do you wish to be thought of that way? [/QUOTE]
