Dhar Jamail: Climate Distruptions

[ellenrr]

The reality of Anthropogenic Climate Disruption (ACD) continues to outstrip our ability to model worst-case scenarios, as it is happening so much faster than was ever anticipated. Sixty-three percent of all human-generated carbon emissions have been produced in the last 25 years, but science shows us that there is a 40-year time lag between global emissions (our actions) and climate impacts (the consequences). Hence, we haven't even begun to experience the worst of our emissions, and won't, until at least 2054.

1. "Perhaps future generations will look upon this as a log of what we witnessed..."

Future generations? If there are any future generations they will curse us with every gasping breath. Even though it's nobody's fault - all we ever wanted was for for our children to have a chance at a better life than we had. How could we know that would destroy them?

2. It's not "nobody's fault"

The blame is on the fossil fuel industry.
the chemical industry.
the politicians who did nothing.
and the majority of the people who did nothing.

At least as long ago as Silent Spring ( if not earlier) it was pointed out that we were destroying the planet.

3. Who buys the products of those industries? nt
