NOTES on How It All Ends
- Global Climate Destabilization
- Global warming IS NOT a scientific term, it is a term that was created by institutions for whom the prospect of radical climate change is an inconvenience.
- Climate change is nothing real
- There is always a chance of being wrong
Action vs. Inaction
Harm to the economic and destruction and upheaval (everything has changed - Inaction and action both take a risk, but you have to decide which one is better to take
- No action and global warming is true then:
o Environmental
o Political
o Social
o Public Health
o Economic - Action, but still global warming
o It evens out - No Global warming, no action
o Everything okay - Humans will have to go into one of those categories
- Science is never certain
- You don’t know if global warming
- It allows to make a decision using uncertain knowledge, by changing the question from are humans effecting the climate to the real question what is the wisest thing to do, given the uncertainties and the risks.
o Risk management - We are trying to find the best road to take
- How do you ever know when science is right?
o Scientist vs. the big cooperation
o Because a cooperation would never want to put their name on something that kills
o They have huge reputation, don’t want to say something that will make them look foolish - The two most known scientific research organizations are:
o America Assoc. for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
o National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - They said that we should take action
o Royal Society (RS)
o United Nation (UN) - It is more likely that there is global warming
- One should talk about it so that there will be change
- One of the biggest threats that humans every had
- We wouldn’t worry about these things if we had global warming
o Whales
o Children
o Rainforests
o Air pollution
o Water pollution
o Light pollution
o Toxic wave
o Nuclear waste - Global warming is the wrong word but global climate change is a better word
