Mother nature’s warnings are becoming increasingly drastic. What we used to call “extreme weather events” are suddenly the norm.
Infernos in western Canada – with temperatures never before registered. We’re shocked. And we’re horrified. But we always manage to turn away.
On “To the Point” we ask: Climate catastrophe: Will we ever change our ways?

About The Author
Short answer, mostly no. A lot of people will start trying to adapt in a clumsy and ill-informed fashion as the events show up with ever greater frequency.
Telling that all will be all right is wise. if it will come out true by any slim chance, you were right. If it fails then no one would be there to call you wrong.
Just stop breeding. Have a campaign to guilt trip people into not having children. That is more practical than asking people to give up cars, heating, eating meat etc
What used to be called NATURAL disasters suddenly are called manmade extreme events. So basically “manmade” climate change eradicated natural disasters. The first red flag is “scientists saying things like consensus, the science, settled science and my favorite “being sceptic is unscientific”.
Btw. Try finding the plastic island on satellite photos. I mean, if it’s as big as Texas it should be easy to spot, right😉😂
No I am afraid your wrong.
Your alarmist views are causing great harm to the younger generation.
Please interview the likes of Professor William Happer or Professor Richard Radzen.
Both are world leaders in their respective fields.
Co2 is not the problem in fact there is a dearth of Co2.
Climate modelling has always fallen well short of the mark for the last 70 years.
Burning fossil fuels is not the problem.
It’s the activity of the sun and many other natural phenomena that play a part in our climate.
Pollution is a separate matter.
It’s immoral not to burn fossil fuels.
No one is denying that the climate is changing it’s been doing so since the beginning.
The science isn’t clear and when any body says it is that should be a red flag.
It is a religion.
You lot are religious nutters.
No one with a decent realist perspective here??
Yes " we will change our ways "… By force . And that will be also short lived .. and than everybody dead
only if you fall for the scam… after al gores movie an inconvenient truth he took the profits from his movie and bought a beach frout manchin….. apparently he's not worried about the sea level rising on his multimillion-dollar home just everybody elses… lol.. he said the polar ice capes would be complete melted by now… as in completely… no sho no ice o noda ounce of ice… .. we still train our millatarys in winter warfare in the artic circle because of all of ice and snow and bitter cold….. just saying…
Petroleum should be $50.00 a gallon to cover the disposal
When the Wests way of life is impacted then it becomes a big deal for whole world to take action on it
Plant more and more trees. Reduce cheese and meat intake. Support regional products
Al Gore said the Earth only had 10 years left… 30 years ago.
the idea that humans can somehow manipulate or change the climate and temperature is just absurd nonsense. You people should be ashamed of yourselves for trying to scare people into believing something that isn't happening . There is no evidence that co2 causes climate change or temperature change. Co2 is a nutrient not a pollutant and all life on earth benefits from more of it. Co2 levels have been much higher in previous historic times . Co2 levels have improved over the last 200 years and was dangerously close to the absolute minimum of 150 ppm at which point all plant life and trees would die. Climate change is a given so money is better spent adapting to climate . The main GHG is water vapour but you dont talk about that , its 97% of GHG's co2 is less than 3% and anthropogenic co2 is about 0.28% Cutting all anthropogenic co2 will not make the slightest difference because the main source of co2 is from the earth itself. and its such a small percentage of the atmosphere and btw without GHG's the earth would be an inhospitable place to live. Co2 is odourless colorless and tasteless , more co2 makes for a greener world and plants grow better and even need less water so crop yields will get better and can be grown in parts where there is little rainfall.. No your agenda is to change the way people live , and turn our backs on the cheapest form of energy which has brought better standards of living to millions around the world
The biggest idea I am trying to express is tunneling aqueducts from the coast, in this case the west coast of the USA inland to feed combination geothermal power and sea water desalination plants. The idea seems to be so big that no one has considered it possible but I believe it is not only possible but it is necessary. For over a century the fossil water contained in aquifers has been pumped out to feed agriculture, industry and municipal water needs. The natural water cycle cant refill fossil water deposits that were filled 10,000 years ago when the glaciers melted after the last ice age. Without refilling these aquifers there is not much of a future for the region of the United states. As a result ground levels in some areas of the San Joaquin Valley have subsided by more than 30 feet. Similar fossil water depletion is happening in other regions all around the world. TBM and tunneling technology has matured and further developments in the industry are poised to speed up the tunneling process and it's these tunnels that are the only way to move large volumes of water from the ocean inland. The water is moved inland to areas where it can be desalinated in geothermal plants producing clean water and power. In many cases the water will recharge surface reservoirs where it will be used first to make more hydro power before being released into rivers and canal systems. It's very important however to not stop tunneling at these first stops but to continue several legs until the water has traveled from the ocean under mountain ranges to interior states. Along the way water will flow down grade through tunnels and rise in geothermal loops to fill mountain top pumped hydro batteries several times before eventually recharging several major aquifers. What I am proposing is essentially reversing the flow of the Colorado River Compact. Bringing water from the coast of California first to mountaintop reservoirs then to the deserts of Nevada and Arizona and on to Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. This big idea looks past any individual city or states problems and looks at the whole and by using first principles identifies the actual problem and only solution.
Thank you for your time, I would like the opportunity to explain in further detail and answer any questions
I'm willing to ride it out. Let's just see what happens.
Evolution has programmed us for constant growth, so we'll keep adding humans and human-related stuff until we can't. We don't have control over ourselves.
End times is near folks, you can make all the scientific cases you want, it’s real.
its not fossil fuels its jesus ..there was a warning .and before covid…
Jeremiah 7:19-20
Do they spite Me?” declares the Lord. “Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?” Therefore thus says the Lord God, “Behold, My anger and My wrath will be poured out on this place, on man and on beast and on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground; and it will burn and not be quenched.”
You r the carbon they want to reduce. Want to turn u into lemmings
Get lost
The size of the human population of Earth is unsustainable.
Humanity is trapped in its own deluded model of eternal growth, regardless of finite resources.
We need to start discussing the reduction of the human population with justice.
We need to recognize the growth-addiction of capitalism and its role in humanity's trap.
reassuring… not…
I am surprised that no one mentioned Thorium nuclear reactors, safe and no long term storage required.
Zero emissions by 2050? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Not going to happen. We're doomed. Heaven help the people who come after us.
Lies and Consequences, ALL for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$_$__$$
All those people who destroyed the economy (because of "science") for COVID are now asking us to prioritize the environment by paying for more expensive energy solutions. Guess what? Theres no money. And the reason there's no money is because you "scientists" shut down the economy for COVID.
It is very interesting how people with relatively general and little knowledge of nuclear energy express such strong opinions. With all due respect, what authority is a journalist on technical and economic matters?
this is what they call "hopium." hope is not a plan.
