If American (and friends) actions in Iraq have resulted in more oil permanently staying underground than would otherwise be the case, then certainly a positive move on climate change. Let's hope we can find a less destructive way of keeping the bulk of American, Russian, Chinese and Australian coal underground.
Finally, we are simplifying Peak Oil and Global Climate Change problems enough to put it in two short sentences and show that they are linked problems. That's almost 'sound bite' sized - but, how do we get the MSM to broadcast it? Should MSM try and rapidly educate the world or would that be too disruptive?
MSM has to explain the consequences as well, which is an even bigger problem to solve - less CO2 means less Fossil Fuel and not just less oil consumption.
Sorry, but I don't know the consequences of more CO2 either. Oh sure, I've heard it means climate change, but I dont know if that means just warmer nights in most places or more severe storms or sea level rise. Supposedly it means all that, but we dont really have any idea of the magnitude.
The only thing I'm fairly sure about is arguing policy on it is going to be a waste of time because we're just gonna put it all in the air anyways. How do we deal with the negative consequences and leverage the positive consequences. Anyone know where increased rainfall is likely to be so we can start planning flood control, upgrade hydroelectric dams, and move agriculture?
