Global climate change is an issue that seems to divide the media, and by proxy the general population, much more than it divides the scientific community. But without popular support for action there is certain to be none. So without a consistent message, how can we make an informed decision about what to do about it?
If the claims of the climate scientists are true, then nothing less than a complete upheaval of the current fossil fuel based economy is needed. If the claims of the climate change sceptics are to be believed then this is just the inflated egos of scientists and the greed of special interest groups conspiring to attack our prosperous way of life.
So what are we to believe? I’m not a climatologist and I wager neither are you. Shouldn’t we wait for the science to be 100% certain before enacting measures that are sure to damage our economy? Haven’t we been wrong about similar issues in the past?
This video takes a fresh and pragmatic approach to the issue. Via the magic of risk management it encourages us to make a decision on the action to be taken despite the spectre of scientific uncertainty.
I must warn you, it’s about as nerdy as it gets, but I wholeheartedly encourage you to give it a chance and listen to the message. To me it offers a clear way forward.
Adding weight to the 'action' side, the UN has today released a report confirming how we are unprecedentedly destroying the planet. Go team earth rapers!
