I do not think that we can dismiss climate change. We are seeing more abrupt and intense changes in weather, summers are getting hotter and winters are getting colder. Not to mention the fact that there are more violent and unprecedented storms hitting regions than recorded...Sandy and then what just hit the Philippines. Not to mention record flooding in coastal regions on the East Coast, cities in Virginia and the Carolinas are having issues on the coastline due to slowly rising waters. This is not a hoax and should not be treated lightly, we should progress into more environmentally friendly energy....solar, hydro, hydra. I am not sure but I have also heard that France has transitioned mainly into nuclear energy, which powers 80% of the country with 0 emissions.
