Regarding the Climate Situation,
I suppose ultimately their are some that would argue that climate instability is not a judicial or even a political issue but a survival one. One thus could and would hope that scientists, polititions and judges would be concerned about such, and not just in the sense of survival to the lifestyles we are accustomed to and political, judicial and corporate fortunes but survival as humans as a species as a whole.
Compounding such is the idea that if we wait for certainty on such a somewhat insidious and intangible matter, it might just be to late as some are already starting to suggest it is.
In the final analysis though it doesn't really matter if we humans are a direct or indirect cause or contributor of and to climate instability or not. We do have to live with such regardless as its apparent evidence, reality and effect becomes somewhat more and more evident and obvious over the course of our life and lives and thus and then anything, we collectively do or can do to counter or stabilize such in a coherent and cooperative global manner and effort, is and would be a testament and credit to us and our validity as a worthy species.
So yes, climate instability is highly probable and even directly evident and suggestions to lesson humanities global CO2 ppm and lesson our ecological and carbon footprints and perhaps even a Carbon Tax might and could assist in offsetting the effects of such.
So implementation of such should be moved, voted upon and ratified somewhat immediately.
Unfortunately though carbon capture is still questionable and untested over time but at such a late hour might become a unavoidable and wasteful necessity but solving one problem by creating another is never good policy and I personally would rather develop and spent money, effort and energies on alternative energies and clean and green technologies.
Anything we attempt though is going to have consequences of some sort good and bad down the road, so the fewer new problems we create for ourselves the better and the simpler the solutions the better.
