So it's mainly a question of helping the Third World overcome the effects of global warming.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always been concerned about global warming. It seemed to me like working in nuclear power was a logical way to do something to help the environment.
My first inclination is to be a bit skeptical about the claims that human-produced carbon dioxide is the direct contributor to global warming.
There isn't a more important issue in the world than global warming. Even the Cold War and the Bay of Pigs crisis were a notional threat.
The fight against global warming is a humanitarian issue - how the planet can be preserved - and it is also an issue of considerable economic importance, of what we call green growth.
As this body of knowledge has evolved, a much more critical job for researchers and scientists has evolved into explaining and educating policy makers and the public to the risks of global warming and the possible consequences of action or of no action.
The truth is, as most of us know, that global warming is real and humans are major contributors, mainly because we wastefully burn fossil fuels.
Global warming is a fact. Now it's up to liberals to make it a reality. Hence there is crucial importance in preventing powerful, greedy free market forces from getting in the way of worsening storms and rising sea levels. The Kyoto Accord is a good first step.
I would say that, basically, global warming is a non-problem.
The idea that global warming is the most important problem facing the world is total nonsense and is doing a lot of harm.
I am convinced that policies meant to reduce alleged carbon dioxide-induced global warming will be destructive.
