Approaching Crisis of Global Cooling and the Limits to Growth: Global Warming Is Not Our Future

If the earth would be meeting warming in near future as predicted by IPCC, then the crisis would be mild. However, it is not the case. The atmospheric temperature of the earth will surely become cold, because most of major controlling factors of the atmospheric temperature, i. The effect of carbon dioxide gas only cannot be too much evaluated.

The effort of decreasing carbon dioxide gas is important in the sustainability of our limited resources, however, we have to seriously consider the measures for the approaching crisis of global cooling and the limits to growth.

Approaching Crisis of Global Cooling and the Limits to Growth: Global Warming Is Not Our Future

A Very Short Introduction. Beyond Oil and Gas. Global Warming in a Politically Correct Climate. Hot Talk, Cold Science. Global Warming and Climate Change Demystified. Revolutions that Made the Earth. Why We Need Nuclear Power. Entropy and Sustainable Growth. Climate change or whatever it is called next year is something we all better get used to adapting to; it is natural variation, always has been and always will be.

We as a species are conceited to even consider the possibility that we may control climate to suit a few egos. A warmer climate will be beneficial to humanity not detrimental, as will an increase atmospheric CO2 which is essential to the functioning of the biosphere and hydrosphere. If any bleating bloggers would take the time to read impartial science instead of listening to sensational headlines, you would arrive at the same conclusions I have. You may then concetrate your energy planning and preparing for your children's future instead of wasting time crying about 'saving the world' from ghosts but actually doing nothing at all to back up your stated convictions.

This behaviour is called 'slacktivism'. Ben Hern, Stavanger, Norway. Lord Puttnam is absolutely right. We should be thinking of future generations, but we don't. I am deeply concerned about the future for my three teenage children and their possible future offspring. The reality is that if CO2 emissions do not level off within five years then we are almost certainly destined for a six degree temperature increase, run-away climate change, ecosystem collapse and a mass-extinction event.

Instead of taking action on this problem what are we doing? We are fighting wars all over the world, planning the next Olympic games, carbon-trading, bailing-out the bankers, worshiping consumerism, developing more weapons, flying, planning the next election, having everything on stand-by, creating super-states, getting drunk, committing crimes, plundering finite physical resources, having more unplanned and unwanted children, praying to the gods of economic growth and having Climate-Change Conferences. Wake up everyone, wake up Governments, there is a BIG problem and it is not going away, it has no respect for empty promises, targets and resolutions.

I am mearly a 16 year old boy, but i take climate change very seriously. Jonathan Steel, Taunton, Somerset, England. If everyone would reduce the use of energy. For example, use the public transport, environmentally-friendly use the house heater in winter and aircondition in summer. We might give less burden to our children.

I think parents have the responsibility to do this for children and teach children to do this as well. Protecting the rights of future generations is central to ensuring the success of actions to protect the Earth we all share. The imagination of youth should not be dismissed lightly.

The power to change the future comes from both insights gained from the past and a willingness to adopt new ideas. Hope for the future is crucial for future generations.. This is what needs to happen. The imagination of youth could be enhanced by making it so they can have fun while at the same time putting up speed bumps here and there to hindering those things that hurt. Subtle things designed to change the direction of both industry and society at large.. Playing with fun things like making bikes and adapting unique uses of electrics to them could be enhanced and the world could gain great satisfaction by setting about melting down guns and stuff like that as long as people knew they can be safe.

It's a matter of trust and confidence every parent should try to enhance.. Investments could be made to health care as a human right instead of a money making venture. The world could invest in buy back schemes for weapons and things like illicit drugs and it could build up those things that support the common good. Copenhagen can install a new respect for the need to change and the world can benefit in ways it can only imagine if children are put first. The whole world should take a moment to walk in a forest or another place where they can experience nature and think about what it means for the future of generations before the crucial meeting in Copenhagen.

I am completely agreed with this writer. Lord David Puttnam has presented a nice article in right time. Definitely climate change act as a barrier that prevents future generations reaching their full potential. People of the world are thinking what is to be happened in Copenhagen climate summit and their expectations are more from the conference.

If the climate change crisis could not be tackle in this moment then, our future generation will be disabling. A lot of world leader will be gathered and they should sign a global climate change agreement which is very necessary in Copenhagen summit. So that we can limit the negative man-made effects on the climate system for future generations.

We know that the atmospheric concentrations of man-made emissions have increased precipitously in recent decades, and that global warming is happening significantly faster than previously. A series of earthquake is going on in the world and people of the world as south Asia is under threat of natural disaster like cyclones, droughts and floods.

Heat related illness, diseases and economic losses are the common phenomenon. We hope that the world's richest nations must agree to substantially slash their emissions between and and agree a comprehensive finance and technology package to allow developing countries to deal with the impacts of climate change. They are padding their own pockets and protecting their turf from rival gangs in neighbouring countries.

I am a teacher and I do worry about the future of the children I teach and the children of those children- we teach them about climate change and the effects it will have and we try to encourage them to cut down their useage of electricity and to reuse and become less consuming. We tell them it is important for their future - and yes it is - why not try? Why do some say "well we cant reverse the effects so lets not bother? It reminds me of the story we teach them of a school group who were taken on residential trip.

For the first 4 days the children were greedy whenever they went for dinner they filled their plates and many threw food away as they could not eat it all. On day 5 there was less food available because the children had been so greedy- the children were warned that if they took too much some at the end of the line would not have enough- yet still these first few children were greedy, the last few had no food to eat because those greedy few at the begining of the line were so used to lots of food that they didnt want to reduce their intake and share.

This to me is very much what is happeneing today. I don't think the issue is 'who has access to electricity' for we humans can survive without- it is clean water and food that we need. It's absolutely important to act, and not least to educate the citizens of our countries as to the realities. There are far too many people who are ignorant of the science-- which given the complexity is understandable.

I've even had people yes, more than one try to tell me that anthropogenic climate change is some sort of ploy by governments to control people. In western democracies it is crucial that the electorate be informed and able to understand the importance of these issues. The BBC needs to take a more critical role in that as well, not merely reporting claims without substantiating them.

The thing that astonishes me most in this whole debate is the arrogance of those who consider "global warming" to be some sort of hoax or lie. There is no doubt whatever that the world is warming up - the evidence is there for all to see. The only doubt is the extent to which human activity is responsible for it. As an eminent scientist said on television recently "at the present time we cannot find any explanation for the greater part of current warming other than human activity".

This does not mean that there is no other explanation - it just cannot be found. Other possible explanations have been put forward and have not stood the test of peer review. To suggest some sort of scientific conspiracy is ludicrous. The vast majority of scientists are agreed on what is happening and the only conspiracies have been on the "no warming" side of the fence.

This being so it would be very foolish and irresponsible of humanity not to take note and start taking precautionary measures. It is, with the greatest respect, totally useless to produce such stupid arguments as "the rich western countries have had their turn at exploiting the world's resources and now it is our turn". It does not matter what has been done in the past or whose "turn" it is.

The only things that matter are the future of our species and its civilisation and the future of the other species on the planet and if this means that a lot of ambitions, such as bringing the rest of the world up to western standards of living, have to be abandonded, then I am afraid that is that.

And let us remember that global warming is not the only serious problem. In the long term depletion of minerals of food, oil water and other essentials is equally critical. The fact is that you cannot blame the past. When I, and a few others in my small circle, started talking of these problems 30 years ago we were looked on as idiots - the world was huge and would never rung out of resources. Now that we know better we have to start being responsible and the first thing we have to do is to stop the expansion in the population and then set about reducing it.

The main cause of all these problems, global warming included is that we have been, with help of modern science, simply too successful at reproducing ourselves and never stopped to question whether this was a good thing or not. We may well find in the future that the world can either support a much smaller population than today's or none at all. Dudley Dean, Maresfield UK. Unfortunately Politicians have hijacked "Global Warming" which is now a massive revenue generator for Governments, there is no thought at all by them towards stopping or slowing down so called carbon emissions, If the evidence was solid, there would be no argument.

But as many know, the evidence is at best circumstantial, Politicians and the business world are generating billions at the expense of the general public, who are actually being lied to. As you see, the latest banner to be used in this massive con trick is "the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child? I think its insane people don't act already to the changes that is happening now with that said i don't believe that anything will come out of the Copenhagen climate summit Daniel Tronborg, Copenhagen Denmark.

I'm happy that some people start recognising the gigantic task ahead if we are to save the world. Unfortunately greed rules our modern world and I have no illusions whatsoever that we will succeed.

Billions will die, the rich will buy their way out and anarchy and a new modern DARK middle age will reappear. Very simply put we can buy and make a Ferrari for K, but for a rare whale which is almost extinct no one wants to pay K, once an animal species is gone, no money in the world can buy it. And every minute some living organism dies and disappears for ever. Biodiversity is the key to life, currently we allready lost 3 million lifevorms in the last 10 years. Like everyhting there is a critical mass and once this reached But it will have to be a collective effort, and I only see it happening if we move away from capitalism.

Change only happens when things are really bad, so it will take another years of polluting to eventually get there. Well, I am completely agreed with this writer. Lord David Puttnam has presented a nice article in nice time. If the climate change crisis could not be tackle in this moment then, our future generation will be disabling in all respects. So, this is the time to do better solution of this vulnerable situation. People would like to see that Copenhagen summit will not be only table talk; it would be the execution of their agenda.

We know a series of earthquake is going on in the world and people of the south Asia is under threat of natural disaster like cyclones, droughts and floods.

Heat related illness, diseases and economic losses are the common phenomenon in this region. We hope the Copenhagen summit will present a green planet for our future generation. To build up this green world the journey should be begun from Copenhagen as soon as possible. Engr Salam, Kushtia, Bangladesh. The resultant evil challenges due to CO2 emission from our current generation is not just endangering prospers of future generation but also deeply hurting every single nation today - UK Flood, US Typhoons and others. If only those benefitting from CO2 emission could tell the World truth then, our World would certainly be a better for current and future generation.

Truth at Copengahan is the way forward. Clement Uchendu, Maiduguri, Nigeria. I agree completely with Lord Puttnam's position and conclusions. Indeed, I reason that the question, "Will climate change act as a barrier that prevents future generations reaching their full potential? Our generation's present course regarding climate change, if not drastically altered, threatens their very survival. To control the damage caused by the recent exposure of the global warming hoax this article will not do. The trickery got to get much more sophisticated or the public more stupid.

The article uses the old worn out political trick of emotions tear jerkers and children as pawns. It is a reminder of the dishonest "save the earth" propaganda movies and adds by the warmists. The fat income of our World Leaders needs to be donated first. If those leaders feel so strongly than let them use their own money. It is dishonest to pretend generousity and good deeds with money stolen from sombody else!

As to the children having a right, I say Yes. They have the right that every child in this world has. The parents take care of them. So, don't look at me because I keep my legs crossed because I can't afford children. But no, the world leaders are all bent to create an dependent world-underclass.

So put your money where your mout is: Let nature including the climate take its course. We cannot stop sex nor the wobbling of our earth's axis no matter how much money we throw at it! The notion "but we try" is no longer a justification for waste. However, if it is important to you to do good and feel good do what the religion and not what the government tells you to do!

With the potential rise of up to , child deaths a year you possibly ignore the many millions of preventable child deaths that are occuring every year. Future generations need development to realise their potential after all with resourses you can make the most from a changed world.

They do not need to be dragged down by the idea that humanity is a parasite on this planet. The rights of our grandchildrens children to inherit a safe, clean, nurturing and sustainable environment are intrinsically linked to all levels of leadership and governance. The future generations of all, must be taken into account and adequately considered before any actions in this generation are carried out.
