Basic science explains why we must cut our emissions

[w1z4rd]

SOUTH African business leaders must understand global warming well enough to make decisions to safeguard our future. In several articles published on these pages, one of your correspondents on global warming has exhibited ignorance about the subject. He has also written on the relative benefits of nuclear power stations and wind farms, without having considered where parts will be manufactured, by whom, and the total net life-cycle costs to the country, including economic multipliers. Similarly, an astronomer at the Boyden Observatory misled the public on the basis of a book that drew a wrong conclusion from limited data.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change bases its conclusions on the work of experts in solar, atmospheric and oceanic physics. Yes, climatologists make mistakes — but no denialist has disproved the greenhouse effect: this would necessitate a scientific revolution. Below, I explain the basic science. Hopefully, as the frequency and effect of climatic disasters increase, denialists will actually read and understand it.
