Human-Caused Climate Change and Its Deniers
摘要
This chapter reviews the scientific record that substantiates that humans have caused our climate change. It reviews the impacts that this significant threat poses to civilization. It also reviews humanity’s attempts to mediate these effects. It reviews the rhetoric of climate change deniers, and the reasoned discourse of the scientific community, its organizations, and those academics who measure its causes, and who suggest policies for control and reversal. This chapter demonstrates that concerning climate change, reasoned environmental discourse is largely from the various scientific and environmental organizations. The deniers include political demagogs and hired scientists who are funded from industrial and commercial sources. This current substantial threat to humanity is motivated by the trio of “fear, ignorance, and corruption.” This is the trio opposed by the collective duties of virtue exercised by our EAOs in this great moral movement of our age.
