What most people do not realize is that even if
we dramatically reduce carbon emissions
in the future, CO2 levels in our atmosphere
are still gonna go up and up and up.
For emphasis, I repeat, even if everybody (on avg)
reduces their energy use by half today, global temperatures
are still going to rise and rise and rise.
That basically explains the severity of the problem that
a lot of ppl dun get. (Well frankly if I didnt take GEK 1535 I also
wldnt get it - yeah so it's a great course in tt respect.)
Some people living in denial still believe that "global warming
does not exist" blah blah blah.
(Edit 2013/10/21: Re-reading this today, I only have four words to add: Tragedy of the Commons).
