(BTW, the powers that be have previously decided to move other threads on this VERY important issue to other forums....as if this issue is not "political"...)
Anyway, there are 2 important sub-issues on global warming that are seldom adequately debated....
The first is that most right wingers "think" that global warming is a farce precipitated on us...a farce that would have drastic economic consequences....as if there are not many, many jobs that would be created by curbing the pollutants that we spew all over our planet's environment...........What is often stated by these folks is that global warming is a repetitious trend and that it has happened over the billions of years of earth's existence. Even IF this were true.....what these nitwits fail to recognize is that MAN is now populating the planet and that whatever may have happenend in the millenia prior to man's existence does NOT matter....what matters is that man is heading to exstinction if nothing is done.....
The second issue is how climate change will have drastic impact on new wars and struggles throughout our planet....Weather DOES impact on wars...from D-Day landings to when and where we would drop our bombs on Japan.
The fact remains that, for example, as the Sahara desert grows, hundred of thousands of people will try to migrate to where life can be supported and if anyone tries to stop such migration, wars erupt. We should remember that the civil war that is currently raging in Syria was ALSO prompted by their drought situation.
Obma is correct.....global warming, if left unchecked, will be a main cause for many more world-wide struggles.
