Monday
I'm just sitting here with my cuppa soup waiting to go back to bed. Looking at the little bit of snow out there and vaguely thinking of climate change ... not surprizingly after all that talk about cane toads yesterday .. it does go to show you how careful you need to be .. and cane toads are a less of a problem globally than getting some forms of geoengineering wrong would be as far as climate change goes.
But, all the same ... approx 100 of them to 100 to 200 million and spreading ... choose your guesstimate ... is quite eyebrow raising.
That is why scientists have been cautious and need to stay cautious .. they might solve Australia's cane toad problem if they were way wrong but, on the other hand, the planet might become uninhabital for everyone.
The only ways are to develop technology that can lessen the impact on the planet by trying to lessen the amount of gasses going into the air and trying to deal with what's there already if possible.
It's very hard to predict exatly what's going to happen .. even now new weather system changes are being discovered where it's not known quite how the ecosystem changed to pave the way for what happend. Though it's probably down to wind changes affecting the ocean currents around as was thought was happening not so long ago.
It's very difficult to predict exactly what's going to happen around the globe as different systems are affected by new changes .. each affects others.
Hopefully by combining different approaches to the problems there might be a chance of solving them.
James Lovelock might be right as far as his other predition goes!!! Where are the (peaceful) enviromental pressure groups. they don't even have to be very active ... just there for the right causes to try to save the planet.
I have no idea how the problems will affect me cause I'm getting old and I'm ill .. but there will be problems before things get to a really bad crisis point ..I have no idea what the time span is for any of it .. but one thing I do know is that it's vital that things move along now. And that it's best for the future not to be a replay of the Kyoto protocol in term of effectiveness. I'm sure James Lovelock would love to be proven wrong on his views about why there is little hope of things getting moving in time.
