Climate catastrophe isn't so certain

RE: Climate catastrophe isn't so certain
I don't disagree with any of that. But - CO2 has to be dealt with if we are going to deal with, for instance Methane releases, because much of that release is a natural result of the warming causes by CO2 emission. And the methane emission will only get worse as the planet warms.

But you are right, there are many other pollutants and other environmental issues that must be addressed. Groundwater contamination as well as depletion is among the most critical because over half of the world's human population depends on groundwater.
'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

- Dr. Donald Prothero
