It seems to me when people 'won't' believe scientists because it interfers with 'money' or so called economics; there needs to be a comprehensive message to the more moronic of society. The 'idea' that 'old world' economics is more vital than new methologies of energy and transportation reveals an underlying 'truth.' It is a profound truth and one that cannot be ignored or dismissed, however, one that needs to be categorized as 'hysterical and indictable.'
To begin, a 'snap shot' of weather on any given day is NOT climate. Climate is a long term trend. So, given that FACT, there truly is no disputing Climate Change. There is no doubt, so naysayers need to beware, because, they are lying and should be held culpable for any statements they make that are out of the rhelm of reality.
When Dr. Chris Field (click title to entry - thank you) came forward to mark the urgency of reversing deadly trends in CO2 emissions he spoke to an 'end result' that in and of itself isn't as explicit as it needs to be. He assumed those receiving his message would automatically take a jump to hyperspace and realize the 'global (of, relating to, or applying to a whole)' concequences of his words.
When Dr. Field states climate change will result in the destruction, by fire, of forests including tropical rainforests, within those words is an understanding that Earth will lose valuabel carbon sinks. Carbon sinks, of course, are the regions of the planet whereby CO2 is absorbed and utilized to produce oxygen through plant respiration or photosynthesis.
Inherent to any democracy is the understanding that all views of a society holds some legitimacy when backed by recognizable authority. Unfortunately, in the case of Human Induced Global Warming, those authorities have been rewarded through corruption to validate either 'partial' findings or completely false analogies. The 'idea' that Earth's biotic content is 'an economic game' of chance is hideous and completely outside the rhelm of ethical.
If the United Nations and the IPCC are serious about saving Earth and its populous, which some naysayers view as two separate issues, there needs to be a very tough stand taken regarding 'ethical science' and its definition. Authority that 'lends itself' to allowing degradation of Earth's biotic content leading to increased danger for life, need to be held accountable and not simply disregarded.
There is 'one truth' regarding Human Induced Global Warming and those scientists and authorities that cannot find a way to accept that truth, need to be dealth with and not simply ridiculed or cast aside as corrupted by their own greed or need.
We have witnessed human death and endangerment as well as the degradation of quality of life under the warrants of CO2 emissions. For all those that simply looked the other way in disregard to enhance political or economic venues there needs to be consequences. Not minor consequenes either, but, those that match the very lives we have lost and may still lose due to negligent government policy and indulge of economics that 'caused' the issue in the first place. There cannot be 'tolerance' to those that naysay profoundly appropriate and necessary science.
If we allow others to dictate the adverse outcomes of an entire planet, then we are as guilty as they.
Therefore, we need to distinguish those that 'speak' the truth and hold in contempt in a clear manner those simply mired in 'fear of change.'
