UN Climate Change Conference

[Pilyk]

Any thoughts or opinion on the Conference to be held in Paris in december ?
Do you think the politicians will agree on a deal ? Are you confident in it to ensure a sustainable warming ?
Here in France, which is the host country, there is a lot of informations about the environmental problems linked with climate change, in spite people are already somehow aware of them. (For instance California drought, the latest heat waves throughout the world etc.) Is the situation the same in other countries (is it a recurrent part of actuality ?)

All they're going to produce is more hot air (pun intended).

This, sadly, is true. International politicians have yet to work together on this, and the info has been there for years, so I doubt they will come together now. To them, it will cost too much money/feuds with other countries will hinder any global attempt to combat global warming. Until we are literally on our last legs (thousands have died in heat waves in India, Karachi, and people continue to deal with drought in California and other regions) I don't think a united effort will be made.

climate change is irreversible at this point in time. the environment will only begin to recover once The Decline reaches the terminal stage and our artificially-outsized population begins to die off en masse.

it will probably take a couple of centuries to regress back to the mean.

Climate change is such a broad term that yes, a change of climate is irrevserible; at any time. Now , earlier, in the future. Climate on earth changes.

If, you mean global warming, that is reversible but not by humans. It takes many thousands more years for global warming to reach it's peak and go back to an ice age by nature's normal cycle.

But, I'm assuming you mean the increase in global warming caused by carbondioxide release by man :P
In that case, we can't undo the major wreckage we already have done to nature's natural cycle. We can only try to decrease our carbon footprint and release by a huge extent and ride it out, having to deal with things like increasing water levels and collapsing ecosystems..

In general I don't think it's neccecairly the end of all human life or the artificialy sustained giant population that it is today.
We just need to be really careful not to start some spooky mega future weapon war and wipe ourselves out, or kill some important eco system (or create a new one..)

I agree, I'm only saying we've fucked ourselves beyond any hope of recovery. all we can really do now is sit back and wait for the inevitable

Emperor Trump will ride us to Valhalla, my friend. Do not worry.

Lol @ this

I've got some hope for the conference. I think it's good that they're taking some steps. Maybe something will come of it even if it's just a small result. I'm glad they're at least focusing on it.

They should start right now and lock everyone in a room until they have a deal and not a shitty one like the others a really fucking good one
