With all the conflicting science around trying to prove or disprove global warming, it's difficult to know what to believe. Everyone has an agenda it appears. There certainly appears to be some worrying patterns developing which if they continue will cause many, many natural disasters.
If we can remove one of the possible effects, which may be having a large impact on the changing climate, I think it would be better to remove it if it can be done. A reduction in CO2 is not going to harm anything. But a continued increase might. And just think if we weren't so reliant on oil... It might solve a few of the world's problems.
Just some thoughts in passing. One cold winter does not buck a warming trend. And while Scotland and other places are unseasonably cold, Greenland had a temperature of 1 or 0 celsius the other day, which as you can imagine is very warm for there.
As for capitalism, well, it creates a system of haves and have-nots, and a bit like one of my favourite films, 'Trading Places', you don't know what it's like on the other side until you've tried it. Granted all systems tend to become corrupted by human nature, but capitalism is a system for the generation of wealth. You must have some social philosophy to underpin it, or everything and everyone becomes a commodity!
