It will be little cosolation when we're kicked off the planet by the natural systems that govern all life while we were busy arguing over what percent of climate change was caused by human activity. I propose a simpler measure. Do only things that enhance the sustainability of the natural environment, humans being an integral part of the system. Things like strip mining and text messages converting to voice don't make the list (what would we do if we actually had to speak to the person we were with?). I'm certain that natural systems will make mining by-waste fertile enough to grow food, but it may take a few thousand years to remediate. Such a puzzlement.

"The science is young." The science is not young. We have known the properties of CO2 as a heat trapping gas since the 1800s. We have been monitoring it a Mauna Loa since the 1950s. So just when to those who continue to deny this WILL it be considered not young? Another excuse. “The science is young.” The science is not young.

The climate has changed long before humans existed and it will continue to change whether humans are here or not. I LOVE science, but this science is very, very young and A LOT still needs to be researched and learned. But to base HUGE decisions, agendas and claim the science is "settled" is beyond ignorance.
