Acting against climate change

"The climate is the prototype of a chaotic system and therefore highly unpredictable. Nonetheless, the methods for predicting changes have been continually refined, and are now much more reliable than they used to be," Stig Nygard explains as background to the UN climate report. He makes the following critique: "According to report, there is a 95 percent probability that the rise in temperatures over the past few decades is the result of greenhouse gas emissions... However, instead of taking appropriate measures, people see emissions trading as a chance to continue as before. According to this strategy, the country that is the last to give up fossil fuels will come out winning. Nothing can be more wrong."
