“EXPERTS CALL FOR END TO CLIMATE MEGA SUMMITS” (December 17, 2012)
Thus Der Spiegel today. “Massive UN climate summits have been held for years, but accomplished little,” the newspaper explains. “Believing there is almost no chance of securing global deal on reducing emissions, experts now want to ditch the current system and try something new.” Agreed. Pray, though, what new? Apparently, many experts now agree that the focus should turn to adjusting to inevitable global warming. As the effects of climate change will be different in different places, this will involve many different approaches. And that is about all one learns from the article. Well, most people around the world have already gotten the experts’ message. They are trying to adjust to global warming as best they can. Therefore, I would like to suggest to the experts that it is time for them to ditch their vaunted expertise. It is nigh useless, anyway.
