The scale and pace of atmosphere pollution is overwhelming; we must act on immediate and large scale basis, which clearly isn't happening. The biosphere itself is literally being unraveled.
Extinction rates are 1000 times faster than normal, even without climate change! Yet not nearly enough people even know about near-term extinction. Critical matters that should be headlines every day are virtually ignored by MSM, while the auto industry is covered widely, and builds yet bigger vehicles.
We are past catastrophic global change, based on multiple lines of evidence. We are locked into a planetary catastrophe, while we are the only life in the universe that we know of so far; life is sacred, yet we treat it as no more than pixels in bank accounts.
The Paris agreement is an agreement to do nothing, a PR stunt, and absolute nonsense. Friends of the Earth International, which attended the Paris conference, called the agreement a sham, one that is deceiving the world and a death blow to our species.
There has been no worse invention than fracking! Yet the whole planet is being fracked. It's Trump's main energy policy, in addition to being global suicide.
Truth and his administration must get out, as we are now committed to disaster by 2020 on biblical scale. There will be more and worse heat waves, forest fires, droughts, and loss of agriculture.
What can we do? In spite of the above, Dr. Carter says we can turn things on a dime, if we simply eliminated fossil fuel subsidies--the greatest crime against humanity and Earth itself, the largest welfare program ever devised. Fossil fuel industries get trillions of dollars a year, financed by large banks. In essence, we're paying for our own funeral.
Yet people are reticent to get involved, as deniers have been maliciously clever and adept at smearing genuine scientists. People also feel guilty, as they do drive and consume fossil fuels. But we should not let this stop us from searching for solutions.
ALL fossil fuels CAN be replaced by renewable, or "everlasting energy," that will get rapidly cheaper the more we use it.
There is no "allowable limit" of fossil fuels, which some scientists still talk about, that we can burn, with fires, droughts, declining food production, and both Arctic and Antarctic sea ice at record low, headed rapidly downward. [Summarized, edited, and slightly added to by Daniel Geery.]
