Park up whether climate is a natural phenomena with or without human influence over the past 200-300 years of global industrialisation. Fossil fuels are finite, gifted from the Carboniferous Period 250-300 million years ago to perhaps 20 generations born over a 500 year blimp from about 1800 to 2300, the second half of which may or may not be irreparably impacted by ongoing use. Without this gift, industrialisation could never have happened and the world as we know it would not exist. Think food production, transport fuels and lubricant, distributable energy, ammonia based fertilisers, manufactured textiles and more to support 7 billion. That 500 year blimp is a make or break window for the future of mankind. Harnessing renewable energy from the sun and indirectly from wind and water which are related to energy from the sun, is only plausible endeavour if mankind is to continue to exist. It’s been a slow but exponentially accelerating evolution. Human health, well being, knowledge, ingenuity and opportunity to innovate have never been been more developed since the sun formed 4.5 billion years ago. Five hundred years is a blimp, and is already about half gone. Dex

“Harnessing renewable energy from the sun and indirectly from wind ...” In their current form, those two technologies are in the most part (other than geographically isolated situations) of no net value and are definitely environmentally damaging. Anybody with enough mathematical ability to make it to year 7 would have no trouble working it out. MI
