A quick thought experiment. It’s currently a pretty popular notion that:
- Human activity is causing the climate to change (warm), and therefore
- We can and should take action to reverse this change
Suppose we struck out the first statement, and simply proposed that:
- We can and should take action to change the earth’s climate
Do you think that this would seem reasonable (i.e. possible and advisable) to most people?
As a side question: What is the ideal global mean temperature? Is it today’s? 1910’s? 1 degree cooler? 1 degree warmer? Why? Does it matter where you live? Who decides?
