Do you not think the climate change alarmists are not presenting a doom and gloom future?

If you lived in a place like The Maldives, you wouldn’t have such a glib opinion.

The reason that scientists are explaining more and more dire risks ahead for us is because we’ve wasted most of the time we had to address both the causes and the impacts of climate change.

Governments and industries around the world have been trying to postpone or avoid the work required to address climate change for upwards of 30 years, and pushing media sources to spread misleading information that minimises the likely impact and cause of climate change.

Ignoring the problem has not helped. Instead it’s given us less time to address the proven effects of carbon emissions.
