Are we simply paralyzed in front of our TV screens that the obvious symptoms of global warming have left us cold? Or is it that we are so hypnotized by our transient way of life that we think and surely feel that nothing, but nothing extravagant such as the strange predictions we hear could ever change the planetary friendliness we presently enjoy. Do not believe in predictions and counter arguments, simply look at the sky and try to finda better place amongst the other planets or even beyond if you are really adventurous!
When most people think about climate change, they imagine gradual increases in temperature and only marginal changes in other climatic conditions, continuing indefinitely or even leveling off at some time in the future. The conventional wisdom is that modern civilization will either adapt to whatever weather conditions we face and that the pace of climate change will not overwhelm the adaptive capacity of society, or that our efforts such as those embodied in the Kyoto protocol will be sufficient to mitigate the impacts. Optimists assert that the benefits from technological innovation will be able to outpace the negative effects of climate change. (reference)
The cold reality is that we presently have no backdoor if the environment we are thriving on becomes miserable. The only option we have is to be cautious and prudent and surely not bold and ignorant. Are we simply playing ostrich with our SUVs?
