I’ve always been pretty much an environmentalist.
Pro electrics car, reducing pollution as much as possible. I pay extra for renewable energy....

I was watching a fairly balanced debate about CO2, and one of the main points was ‘we don’t know if global warming is good or bad’

And it sort of stopped me in my tracks.

Trees will grow faster, same for crops, areas previously uninhabitable will be habitable.

Some good, some bad. The question was what was net change?


anyway, I’m still all about being as clean as possible and green energy. But, it was a fundamental question I’d never asked myself before.

If Delta wants to buy offsets, sure thing. More green technology is good. But, I’d like to see more DATA about if warming is actually bad for the planet on the whole.
