EmpowerTheOcean.com Reports on Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Writing for a website I helped to create, EmpowerTheOcean, Emma Websdale notes, “This week’s Annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, published by the UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO), includes data showing that greenhouse gas emissions are on an upward and accelerating trend.”  She then goes on to talk about climate change and the  extreme weather events that are likely to ensue as a result. 

I comment:

With the declining costs of renewable energy, along with efficiency and conservation measures, we will eventually get a handle on this.  The question is this:  how much damage will we have done in the meanwhile?

The answer is the same one my mother gave me when I asked her when I was five or six: “If God made the Earth, who made God?”  She shook her head solemnly and said, “Nobody knows.”
