The short answer is no. Because climate change is climate change. Nobody can control the weather, but can we minimize the impact of climate change? Absolutely.
The world is in need of a renaissance in technology and infrastructure. Instead of men and women only going to outer space, which I encourage and think is a logical next step in the advancement of our species, I do think there are several things here on earth we need to wrap our heads around and one is finding more weather resistant infrastructure including protection from fire and flood.
How long are we going to drag concrete and steel around with us? There has to be some fibre, some hidden material or source that can insulate us when disaster strikes. But you know what most of our greatest minds are focused on right now? Space travel and medicines. We need to learn how to build again too I humbly submit.
I see the Inter-American Development Bank and by extension the World Bank is focused on building back stronger, but the question must be asked, building back stronger with what? In this day and age, as we saw with the Sunrise building collapse in Florida, concrete and steel ain’t enough no more.
So while the UN report is noted, even more so as we look down the eye of another Tropical Storm for this Hurricane season in that of Fred, we have to ask ourselves to stop thinking we ca do the near impossible and start to do the tangible things we can see and feel.
I am not a fan of this vague climate change reporting. This reporting that sees a wildfire or a hurricane and instantly jumps to climate change and throw in the word “science” to go with it and everyone must think you are speaking the truth from reasoned facts and data.
I truly think that most of the climate change criers are full of baloney anyway. For one, I believe they are a part of a media-leftist conspiracy to disrupt established, conservative based businesses like big oil and mining in particular, to divert cash and resources to their niche, which is solar and natural resources and energy. It’s working too.
Secondly, this “data” and “science” is never articulated against historical events that have happened before. For example, I’m sure we have had bad weather before. Now even most archaeologists point to an extreme weather event a few thousand years ago- a massive flood that covered the earth.
So whether or not we are in a season of the earth just changing itself naturally or something we have done entirely, to me, I a little murky and climate change reporters should clear that up a bit more.
So I end as I started, can we really reverse climate change? I don’t think we can, it is not our weather. But we can mitigate against it for sure.
