I don't why but most conversations about climate change focus on the wrong things. It seems to focus on two questions:
1. Is it real ?
2. Is it human's activity fault ?
Both questions are meaningless in my opinion. Why ask if it's real because we already know it happened in the past ? We all know Greenland was named because it use to be actually green. We also know the change can be brutal thanks to the Egyptian High Dynasty with the records of Pepi II reign, the last Gyzeh pyramids builder, showing the signs of a rapid semi-disparition of the Nil and the transition to a desert (Yes, Egypt use to be green, so does all of the Sahara).
So we KNOW it's possible and all signs are poiting to that direction, why ignore it ?
Secondly, is it human's activity fault ? Who cares ? The change is there. It's too late by all measurement to do anything about that, we KNOW we can't destroy all human activity. But some climatologists want humanity to "repent" and live with frugality, turning their ecology in some sort of religion. But that doesn't solve the problem at all. Even if we do reduce our carbon emissions, it WILL change. You think Egyptians were big carbon emiters ?
What we must ask ourselves isn't those questions, it's HOW we adapt now we know. How we're gonna, once again, tame mother nature and mold our environnement to suit our needs, like we did in the past. We need to move populations, we need to move our farms, to relocate cities too close to floodable lands, we need to fucking prepare instead of flagellizing ourself about how much gas we're using.
Are we doing any of that ? NOP. All major cities in the world with few exceptions (Mexico, Moscow...) are near the water. Tokyo, the most populated one, even built ON the ocean. Why the fuck is there still people living in the Netherlands, a whole country UNDER sea level ?
We did nothing to prepare because we're too focused on saving some time so it will be next generation problem.
