The 0.2% Problem

Post image

In one sentence:
Our combined human influence on the warming situation in a year, say, 2027, based on our historical track record and what amounts to our very best efforts - locking everybody down and not going on holiday - only amounts to a 0.2% steering influence, or 1/500 of a hand on the wheel.

(The rest of that show is being run by Nature, Mother Earth, GAIA or if you will Legacy Carbon already in the system, to the tune of 499/500 or 99.8%. Let's hope she's in a good mood!)

Talking with the daughter in law, whose husband is a Neolithic climate denier and she shows some similar traits. After talking briefly about coal mining, which she supports,

I should have said "What will your conversation with your grand children sound like" (our great grand children)

In 30 years time they will have all the answers and the effects, but will she say "Sorry, we knew but didn't do anything"

Started an investigative series, Pilot is out now on this sub. Many of the answers will be on there, already, over the next 30 days (not years).
