The American government science administration NOAA ( National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ) has released a damning report on climate change. Obviously, and finally (!), it is stated as “undeniable” that we are already seeing climate change in action, and that it is down to human actions that these climate events are occurring. Take 1 hour of your time to watch the related press conference –it’s worth it ! (you can start @ minute 6:50)
Well, we all know that the only immediate action to be taken is a drastic carbon reduction program, enforced by legislations all over the globe. We all know that it has to be brought to a level which will profoundly change our (developed) society, our way of thinking, doing business, our economy. It will impact jobs, wealth, social stability, etc. At least during this “transformation” phase. Which is, obviously, the leading negative argument as soon as politicians are addressing carbon reduction scheme. At least it seems now that we are reaching a sort of global momentum on the threats. But, still, as mentioned during this press conference, another fundamental question is to be addressed now : do we have as much time to deal with these issues as our leaders seem to think ? One CSIRO scientist has already said we've past the point of no return. Honestly I ‘m not sure I want to trust this, but we are now clearly warned, and nobody should say “we didn’t know”… Even American congress.
