Climate Change Mitigation
As this cartoon reminds us, all the actions we are (or should be) taking to mitigate the effects of climate change have benefits that transcend their main intended purpose.
Global warming is anything but a hoax. In fact, it’s been understood at some level since 1896, when Sweden’s Svante Arrhenius became the first scientist to quantify the effects of man-made carbon dioxide on global temperatures. He calculated that doubling the atmospheric level of the gas from its concentration in his time would raise the average mid-latitude temperature by 5 to 6 degrees C, which, astonishingly, isn’t too far from the latest results.
Craig,
Y’know it is possible to write about and even advocate environmental concerns without adopting an hysterical alarmist posture.
