@Li789 "Princess" - I don't know how I earned that title, but I guess you are being sarcastic, as seems to be the
modus operandus of the climate change deniers . . .
You are part of a cohort of people,
emanating from America, who hold the bastion of bad science as far as climate change is concerned.
There are even 'universities' In the U.S. dedicated to debunking climate change (while ignoring their own unusual weather events and what is going on in the rest of the world). You are quoting from one of those so-called 'universities', and you think it makes you look scientific and educated and your haranguing 'evidence-based' - it is false evidence, manufactured by so many clever people who should be ashamed of themselves to hire their brains for money.
The motivation of their masters is simply profit, the profit of the biggest polluters, who see their dominant position endangered, and they think they have found their champion in Donald Trumpty-Dumpty.
Also mostly in America: you have any number of religious extremists who 'believe' that the second coming of Christ is nigh and disaster will strike the world anyway - also an export from Europe from the 'Reformation' which seems to have attracted the most extreme Christian sects into America's backwaters, of course Trump and his billionaire buddies are their poster boys! Search me why? They are not going to share their riches with anyone! So far, they have only taken from the poor! But it seems, Americans are waking up.
I don't know what your motivation is but you are either a died-in-the-wool conservative, most likely racist, have never watched the news in Australia and the quite recent suffering so many of our farmers have been through by either drought or unusual flooding. Spare us your imported philosophies, or if you are Australian, pack your bags and off to Amerrica with you - where you can find many of your own ilk.
I live in a relative moderate climate (near Perth) and have seen and experienced the lack of rain and the slow dying of many of my plants in my reasonably large 'garden' - will have to decide whether I want to have a garden (with the attendant waste of water, costly too!) or just let nature take its course. When I visit friends in the country, same story - and I remember my deceased husband's job - he worked for a wheat growing/handling company, and remember him waiting for the mid-year rains for a good harvest - these rains, if they come, come much later and there is less of them.
The really sad thing is that whilst big business, particularly the
big polluters shovel money into climate change denial,
all our happy days will be limited, good or bad, accepting or denying climate change, won't make one iota of difference, to what we all can observe, and our children and grandchildren will have to deal with.You simply have to think of the vast expanse of humanity and how it seems to have overtaken so many other life forms, breeding mono-species just for consumption on spaces which should have been left as primeval forest (Amazon and many places in Australia too, Africa is drying out, hence so many young Africans take the risky journey to Europe) to know that what we are doing is going to lead to disaster.
Spare us your falsified science, and open your eyes, look around you - maybe visit the local tip and see how much waste people create and bury in good land - the waste of forever having to have the latest car, changing your 'decor' 'clothes' etc. our wars.
This species which can't be content living a simple life, will pay a hefty price for its love of luxury and comfort, plus its never-ceasing fecundity - also fuelled by the various religions.
We might be nature's biggest experiment in developing intelligence, but we are sadly lacking in common sense.
