I believe in climate change and I believe that a century of spewing toxins into the atmosphere has had an impact on it. I think we're at the point where we are faced with three options:
1.) We enact global policy to reduce greenhouse emissions on a global level and we're able to slow down the process or stop it all together.
2.) Essentially the same as option 1, but it's too late, we're pasting the point of fixing it and we'll see some of the theorized effects take action.
3.) We continue to point the finger and waste time squabbling over who gets to say they're right. This either leads to irrefutable proof in that it exists or doesn't and half the room gets to go home with a smug feeling about themselves.
The dangers with option 3 is the possibility that it does exist and while we'll know it does, it could be too late to actually fix anything.
