[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the news, we hear scientists suggest 2030 and 2050 being milestone years on the climate change front. But I think that's being conservative and within 5 years, we are facing a major adjustment in how we live. And I think within 10 years, this country is going to go through a climate crisis to the effect that there are days we won't be able to go outside. Between the flooding, heat and wildfires, I just don't see us getting to another 10 years of status quo. Even now, we're so affected by weather around the country. What might the summer look like in 2027, just 5 years away? My youngest will only be 16 years old - I have a hard time grappling with this. Not like I can do anything about it I realize, but just wondering why people don't seem to dwell on finding solutions to how we are going to get by in the near future if we are impacted by the weather instead of focusing on the desire to enact change. Isn't that kinda a losing battle at this point? I mean do we really have another 10-20 years before we have to alter our lifestyle? I just don't see us stopping/slowing down the results of our technologies and consumptions quick enough. Are there organizations looking into what we do when we hit that no return point cause you never hear about that? [/quote] I do not see any dire circumstances. If there are --we will deal with it. No need or time to worry about it.[/quote] Are there issues, yes. Are they dire? No. Even if they were no action would be taken. So it is good things are not dire. [/quote]
