Comment Europe? What about North America? (Score 2) 61
We've had heatwave after heatwave after heatwave, and we still have another month of summer. Where I live 5% of the state is on fire, the National Weather Service regularly predicts "Smoke" as the weather. The air quality index is actually advertised as -1, I have no idea what that means, but it can't be good. For weeks at a time the sunrises and sunsets are orange in color because of the smoke. This is not a European problem, it's an everywhere problem. Not only do we have to stop human carbon from going into the atmosphere, but we have to remove energy from the system. Reducing population won't do it. Reducing pollution won't do it. We need to take very drastic and expensive steps to reduce the amount of energy hitting the planet from the Sun. Solar panels won't cut it, wind power won't cut it, nuclear power won't cut it. We have to block it. And then try and restore our atmosphere.
