Kyoto Schymoto

I believe its already too late to change the course of climate change. All energy production must change to nuclear for the short term (one century). It is the only way to provide enough energy to compensate for the time to develop sugar fuel cell energy technologies.

All unnecessary flying and travel must be eliminated. All combustion powered vehicles banned.

Still such drastic actions wouldn't reverse the warming trend for thirty years. And only if we did this action starting tomorrow, not a decade from now. That is too huge for the greedy individuals of humanity. Calamity is imminent. Utter destruction and human cultural extinction likely.

A complete reversal of human habits would require a massive sacrifice of lifestyle. All unnecessary air travel would have to be eliminated. Air travel accounts for a very high percentage of gassing the planet. Simply lowering emissions is not enough.

An ironic point is in the protests about the Canadian seal hunt. Global warming has almost eliminated all the ice on the sea ice in the huge St. Lawrence estuary this year. No ice. Tens of thousands of seal pups die.

The unnecessary flights of the protesters from Europe contribute to the global warming. Their actions are more likely to contribute to the complete extermination of the seal population than all the actions of Newfoundland hunters have done in the last four hundred years and could do in the next four centuries.

Are humans that stupid? Well hell yes.

For instance, global warming due to excessive carbon emissions will flood all the low lying areas of Europe. It means that the Arctic sea ice will disappear even before the massive glaciers on Nuuk (Greenland) and Antarctica.

All the Netherlands and Denmark will cease to exist since they would need massive diking more than 30M high which is an impossible capital project. Without the presence of the ice cap the course of the Gulf Stream will decidedly change or perhaps more likely disappear since the ocean currents will change.

While the rest of the world gets warmer, present day Europe will suddenly enter a much colder phase. If you draw a latitude Glasgow is at the same latitude as many of the colder parts of Canada and Siberia. Global warming will impact Europe far more seriously than many other parts of the planet.

Most of the present day estuaries such as found on the Rhine, Mekong, Yellow River, Amazon, Nile, Hudson, Ganges, Indus, St. Lawrence, Thames, produce a very large portion of the human food supply and house a high proportion of human commercial activities... are going to disappear.

Yet when the European commercial sector hears that the Arctic Sea Cap disappears. 'Oh good' these rich and wealthy say, 'there is a lot more oil on the Arctic sea basin'.

That is just how stupid humans are
