Global Warming

kellikellikelli asked:


I’m working on a research paper where I am to represent Canada in a Kyoto-like simulation. How do Canadians feel about Climate Change and what their country is doing to combat it?
Also, what is the stance of major political leaders?

THANKS!

Dana1981, Master of Science asked:


“Scientists are to hold an emergency summit to warn the world’s politicians they are being too timid in their response to global warming.

Climate experts from across the world will gather in Copenhagen next month to agree a stark message to policy makers, which they hope will break the political deadlock on efforts to curb rising temperatures. The meeting follows “disturbing” studies that suggest global warming could strike harder and faster than expected.

Katherine Richardson, a marine biologist at the University of Copenhagen, who is organising next month’s event, said: “This is not a regular scientific conference. This is a deliberate attempt to influence policy.”

Now for all you conspiracy theorists out there, scientists have nothing to gain monetarily from such a summit. They already have no trouble getting research grants to study climate change, and influencing political policy at this point does not benefit them in any way.

What are your thoughts on this emergency summit?

Or is that just a way to shut people up?

Cap & trade is going to be such a HUGE deal to our economy shouldn’t the causes of climate change be dealt with in an honest way?

Or would honesty wreck this money making scheme?
