As reported widely in the media today, it’s clear that humans are not only having an impact on the environment due to greenhouse gas emissions, but that we have no idea what the consequences of this impact will be. As scientists dig into the past to find answers, they are discovering that our current condition has no precedent: environmentally, we are well outside the bounds of the time since modern humans first evolved.
Dr Eric Wolff in the BBC article reference above said, “There’s nothing that suggests that the Earth will take care of the increase in carbon dioxide. The ice core suggests that the increase in carbon dioxide will definitely give us a climate change that will be dangerous.”
Not only have we had record temperatures out of line with the last 100 years of records, we now have CO2 levels out of range for the last 800,000 years of records. Buy air con. Sell short on heaters.
