> We’re going to have serious problems within the next 5-10 years
I'm having trouble reconciling your statement there with your first one:
> I’m frankly less concerned about climate change - in reality we don’t have enough data for super definitive answers. Further, we can and the world can fairly easily adapt. A few degrees over a hundred years is easily manageable.
So let me understand:
1. You think that insect population decline isn't related to climate change.
Okay I can buy that. Humans have built a lot of roads and vehicles emit a lot of pollutants and pollutants kill insects. So what do you propose to do to solve that? Or do you think it's a different problem? Perhaps climate change is a contributing factor.
2. You think we have declining water availability.
Indeed, we do. Many states have had more severe and more prolonged droughts that previously recorded. But, on the flip side, some states are getting inundated with more rain than ever before. It's almost as if the climate is changing. So anyway, how do you propose to solve the water availability problems?
3. Solar weather could wipe out all electronics.
Yeah that's a tough one. It sure would be unfortunate if our planet's magnetic shield stopped working one day. But on the flip side there's not much we could do about it. So why worry? There's other things to worry about like climate change and the insect apocalypse.
