If you are not a scientist who specializes in earth's climate and what effects it then I guess you have to choose who you want to believe.
I choose these guys:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intergovernmental_Panel_on_Climate_Change
Since they are trying to synthesize information from a lot of different areas.
Here is a report that just hit the front page of google news:
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/environment/global-warming/Climate-change-far-worse-than-thought-before/articleshow/5406955.cms
This is research from climate scientists working at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. I guess everyone has to decide for themselves if they think it's credible or not. I think it's credible and stuff like this is one of my motivations for investing in BEHL.
Is human activity contributing to a rapidly changing climate? Well... Seems like a common sense "yes" to me. We are releasing CO2 that was sequestered over millions of years in just decades.
And, at this point it doesn't matter what the US decides to do or not do. It's really up to China and India at this point. We are 300 million, they are 2.5 billion. More of those 2.5 billion decide everyday that they would like to have more stuff (like we have in the US). This requires more energy which is mostly generated with coal which releases CO2 that was sequestered long ago.
The goal with algae with respect to energy production (and I agree with DF that right now energy production is not the best use of algae) is to have a carbon neutral process. You bind up CO2 when you produce algae oil and you release CO2 when you burn it. But, the net effect is that the CO2 is recycled over and over so that there is an equal amount of CO2 being bound up and released.
One aspect of climate change that isn't talked about a lot is that it will be a positive change for some parts of the planet. For example, there are vast tracks of Canada that are very cold and inhospitable. In the future, this could become a great place to live and farm.
Give us this day our daily bread... and lead us not into temptation (ie don't be a greedy fool)...
I do not have a premium acct, not sure getting one is worth what Ihub wants. If you PM me, include an email and I will reply.
