Nobody seems to agree on climate change so why bother?
Most scientists are agreed on the relationship between emissions and climate change. At the very least these two activities have moved in tandem in recent decades. The principal area of disagreement is on the pace that this will accelerate. Some climatologists predict an increase in several degrees of the average global temperature which will have an enormous affect upon fragile ecosystems and potentially on low lying areas such as the Maldives, where any ocean level rise associated with the melting of polar ice caps could be catastrophic. Others suggest that the process will be more gradual and that our ability to control emissions will head off a catastrophe. All projections are based upon informed opinion, but are not an exact science. However our current situation requires action.
