Im not slyly insinuating it, Im saying it as plainly as I can - as are 98% of the scientific community. The global warming we have been experiencing for the last 200 or so years is due to mans burning of fossil fuels and pumping CO2 and other greenhouse gases into the air.
Well then fine. But humankind today will not stop doing what its doing so what do you propose we humans do? Some climate change skeptics propose/fear it would take a global government to get us to stop doing what we are doing and that is the "agenda."
If humankind will does not stop what its doing it will be extinct within the next hundred years - so if we want to survive as a species doing nothing is not an option.
We could start by
De carbonisiation of the global energy system as it accounts for almost two-thirds of greenhouse gas emissions
by switching to sustainable and renewable clean energy
Start treating the planet as our home, that gives us life and not some resource to be plundered to satiate our greed.
Plant trees instead of burning them and cutting them down. Ban single use plastic bags like they have in NZ. Turn off the lights when you leave the room, turn you computer off, save water etc etc etc
Cleaning up the planet instead of trashing it basically.
