>> Climate models of decades ago have turned out to be dead on.
Of course, with hindsight, out of thousands of models, we cherry-picked the most accurate ones, gave those scientists medals and completely ignored the majority of other models which turned out of be wrong.
I think that renewable energy is good and will yield cheaper electricity in the future and won't produce smog so we should invest in it but there is no need to rush the implementation stage. Sometimes it's better to wait for better technology to come along and implement it once rather than keep re-implementing it every few years each time a slightly better solution comes along.
Like every time someone invents a new, less expensive, cheaper to maintain wind turbine, what do you do with all the existing wind turbines? The more you have, the more expensive it's going to be to migrate.
- ncmncm 7y agoYou use the turbines you have, and build better new ones. When they wear out, you dismantle them and replace with the latest model. What is your alternative? Do nothing and wait for some future generation to do something? There always were excuses to do nothing, and there always will be. What is different now is there are not any future generations left.
- ThomPete 7y agoWe are doing a lot already. Not sure why we should spend money and lives to save a much more advanced future generation who will be better equipped at dealing with the always changing climate.
