What can we expect from global climate change? How will our daily lives be affected?
Well, that depends on where you live.
The most important thing is that we are already committed to global climate change; all we know is that lifestyles will change, just as the economy has forced many to change their lifestyles.
As for global climate change, we can only can prepare and adapt. Decreased precipitation will require a different perspective on the value of water. Severity of heat waves and cold weather will require a new perspective on heating and cooling systems.
We can’t prevent the change – we can only react to it.
After reading EPA’s proposed finding on CAA section 202(a) sources, I walked away with a positive outlook. Yes, global climate change is occurring, but there are a lot of things we can do to deal with and prevent impacts. Perhaps technological advances are the cause, but I believe technological innovations will transform and alleviate impacts.
One last thought if we can catch the flu from a pig we really are one connected global ecosystem.
