What if the climate scientists are right about global warming? Part 2 - Examiner.com- About: global warming news

As part of his critique, Andrews challenges me to ask you what happens if the climate scientists (I assume he means those scientists favoring the hypothesis that anthropogenic contributions of greenhouse gases are raising temperatures dangerously) are right? In the developed world, changing crop mixes and leaving the air conditioner on will be convenient fixes, but both are likely to increase CO2 emissions, at least until we get the right energy generating mix. It will be tougher in the southern hemisphere, as their communities and regions are not as resilient–because they are generally poorer, they won't have as many easy options. Because most warming has to date been observed in the north, during winter, during night, many will say it isn't a problem, it's a solution. If we are successful at picking the low-hanging fruit now, by converting to greener energy sources, reducing our emissions on a curve that starts low and moves upward, if we weatherise buildings, improve public transportation, incentivise reduction in energy consumption, it will be easier.
