That unfortunately will never happen - there is very little ‘natural’ self-sustaining landscapes left anywhere in the world and many of the species around before human habitation are now irrevocably extinct, including the habitat flora and fauna upon which they depended. Conversely, there have...

Of course ‘predictions are not science’ - I said as much in my post above the one you quote re. the precautionary principle but climate modelling does show current and past rates of change which is what we are talking about - and yes, habitat destruction is one of the greatest drivers behind...

Climate Change scientists are not fixed on global temperature trends over many millennium that we all learnt about in 5th year geology at school but are concerned with the sharp increase in the rate of change we are witnessing which suggest tipping points and positive feedback loops which...

This is a pertinent quote from the NASA link I thought: ”It’s important to remember that scientists always focus on the evidence, not on opinions.” In Environmental Law, risk mitigation/protection policy is based on the precautionary principle which is a lower threshold of likelihood than...

- probably about even with the monetary cost of climate change events. For nothing? Depends on whether you put any value on biodiversity and human health.

Like those who start with confirmation bias which basically means seeking raw data and then manipulating it in a way that will confirm existing personal biases and beliefs while ignoring data that doesn’t - when taken to its extreme, we get presented with outlandish conspiracy theories about...

I attributed the absurdity of his remarks down to an unusual excess of methane. 💩

It’s a ridiculous postulation to suggest that the science on the anthropogenic causes of rapid climate change are no more than a conspiracy by governments to raise taxes. Tell that to the people of the Marshall Islands and other low lying Pacific islands who are already bearing the brunt of...

I’m not a ‘real scientist either’ but I work with them daily - specifically in looking at the causes and impacts of our global climate and on species adaptation. We provide research globally as well as nationally - the anthropogenic contributions to climate change are incontrovertible and are...
