Comments on: American public opinion http://www.carboncommentary.com/2009/03/23/523 A critical appraisal of issues in the move to a low-carbon economy Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:02:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jose http://www.carboncommentary.com/2009/03/23/523/comment-page-1#comment-1855 Jose Fri, 03 Apr 2009 15:05:29 +0000 http://www.carboncommentary.com/?p=523#comment-1855 Isn't there increased concern among the American public about water scarcity? I think the main problem here is that many people aren't connecting the dots. Someone may be unconcerned about air temperature changes in isolation but very concerned about dwindling water supplies. I suspect that once segments of the American public connect the dots (like they have in Australia) you'll see a paradigm shift.

There should not be any doubt about the seriousness and grave consequence of the global warming. What action should be taken by us to fight it may be a subject to debate. But not the obvious truth that our earth is getting warmer. Also there should not be any doubt that certain portion of the warming is natural and certain portion of this warming is manmade/womanmade. Which part contributing what percentage can be subject to debate. It is not the first time we are facing a global warming. But this is the first global warming when the world population is more than 6.5 billion. This is the first global warming when you are not free to migrate from one place to another (you need visa to cross boarders). At present in Bangladesh per capita land is only 100feet by 100feet; what a disaster they will face if one third of their land goes under water. I feel sad reading the article.
