Today's Depressing Thought
Global Warming. John Robb has a little blurb about what he thinks can be done. Basically, forget trying to prevent it and start preparing to survive its effects.
The unfortunate truth is that he is probably right. The BBC had this story on their site this morning:
Asia's greenhouse gas emissions will treble over the next 25 years, according to a report commissioned by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
The report provides detailed analysis of the link between transport and climate change in Asia.
It says that its estimate of future levels of greenhouse gas could even be an optimistic assessment.
China and India are the main reason for the increase, and neither has any obligations under Kyoto since they are technically developing countries. Add to that the oil men in the US White House who aren’t to keen on cutting emissions and our own PM’s plan to get started on things in a couple of decades and you can see why prevention is probably a lost cause and preparation for the effects is probably the right course for people now.
