I know the economy is bad and it’s tooo easy to talk about these days… but if you take a step back- what the heck does the big picture look like?
Climate Change is at the point of no return; even if greenhouse gas emissions halted today, that means completely reduced to zero emissions worldwide, it will take 1, 000 years to dissipate the alarming amount of CO2 we have dumped into our atmosphere… worldwide temperatures would still rise about 3/4 of a degree Celsius.
Global Carbon emissions have grown 3.5 % a year since 2000.
It is estimated that by 2013 our arctic waters will be ice-free during the summer
and
sea levels are rising a centimetre a year estimating to be 78cm higher by century’s end.
This means the terrifying worst case scenario etched by the IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change) is much too optimistic at this point.
The Independent, a British Newspaper surveyed 80 international climate specialists to discover that 54% of them are so scared that they believe we need a plan B.
Do you morally agree that we (globally) should start making a back up plan for our royally dense and irresponsible inactions? and how unknown and intimidating could these plan Bs be.
