What are some genuine uncertainties regarding climate change?

Posted in Green Q&A | 8 comments

It’s widely accepted that human activities are impacting upon the climate and this is supported by reconstructed, observational and empirical evidence. Within the climatic systems there are many inherent complexities and uncertainties. There are known inconsistencies and apparent contradictions and of course, there is much that we don’t fully understand.

What do you consider to be the uncertainties regarding climate change, what are the inconsistencies and in which specific areas do you feel a greater comprehension would be of significant benefit?

What is the immediate benefit of "going green"?

Posted in Green Q&A | 10 comments

I have heard so much discussion about trying to be more environmentally friendly including buying organic, purchasing cars that uses less fossil fuel, drinking tap water instead of bottled water, using more environmentally friendly materials; the list goes on and on. Yet what immediate benefit can one say to convince either oneself or others that "going green" is a good move? Or are the effects going to be long term, if there is any at all, that no one will know until 50 years or 100 years or more? I need help deciphering truth from panic. I want to help what lives in this earth not help destroy, how does one do that?

For example, it’s a foregone conclustion that most recycling incurs a lot more cost than it provides a benefit. And if the U.S. were to follow the Kyoto accord, it would spend untold billions to make a statistically insignificant change in global temperature. Should I consider costs when deciding whether to be green, or does politicial correctness and green hysteria require me to consider only the benefits?
