I'd like to be famous, so when I go into a bar the piano player stops playing and backs away in fear. Then the sherriff looks out his window at the bar, and the undertaker stands on his balcony watching on...
No worries Tom, I didnt feel personally attacked just the ideas side of things.
There is no easy solution, ot it would have been adopted ages ago. Red suggests not developing on flood plains, fair point. But countries like Bangladesh where 40% of the landmass is on a delta flood plain have no choice. In developed countries like ours, planning authorities are aware they leave themselves open to litigation, so its not such a major issue. And poplation density is not the same so I think thats a different idea.
We have had electricity and cars for generations in the developed world, there is a moral/ethical issue in us telling less developed countries they should stick with candles and oxen... They would also like to experience what we have taken for granted.
Lets keep the ideas coming, what can be reasonably done about it. Thats the hard part, not just making observations and ermotive speeches. Bare in mind, over simplistic solutions carry no weight, and what India/China should do are only going to be suggestions.
No point just attacking what I think, I'm not a decision maker of any sort. I doubt world leaders are following this thread eiither.
But yes, its an important issue and I hope we can collectively get on top of it.
Minutes to months would negate seasonality, example you have a particularly hot summer or cold winter one year, thats not necessarily climate change. It well could be, no denying things are changing.
Its become religion more than a science, believers or non believers... But deep down itis a science, what can reasonably be done about it? And will developing countries do anything at all about it? Given they're the biggest polluters, of course depending how tricky your accounting is...
But yes, important issue, lets keep the ideas coming, what may be done to reduce the consequences in future, not just boo hoo we're all doomed kind of thing.
I saw a legend with funny facial expressions, it might be Greg Brown or a similar plain sounding name, what a musician. I also like Stevie Ray Vaughans expressions, one cool cat.
Its a tough one, sure there are legitimate concerns that should be addressed. But if you give in to demands framed this way, expect rolling blockades of the railway system.
