> dhw: [i]The message could hardly be clearer: [b]although we can’t know the extent or the timing of future disasters, we do know the damage which is already being done.[/b] It is therefore only common sense that we reduce and ultimately eliminate these dangers as quickly as pragmatically possible. That means finding alternatives to current practices that will not create social and economic havoc. And that in turn requires money being poured into research. Only when viable alternatives to fossil fuels and current poisonous forms of transport and agriculture can be found will it be possible to make the necessary changes. The USA, China and Europe should be among the powers that lead the way, and eventually there will have to be cooperation between the ca. 200 nations. Discussions on how big and exactly when are totally unproductive, As regards Trump, I wish he would use his power to focus as much on current global environmental realities and the need for international action as he does on American self-interest. The latter is politically necessary, but should not be at the expense of the former.[/i]
