Review of Climate Change Casualties
This article briefly examines the causality of global climate change. The alleged link between anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, global warming and climate change is examined. The article postulates that there is an alternative premise to greenhouse gas causality of climate change, namely natural variability. This alternative path leads to the same destination as that of the proponents of the
greenhouse gas premise, namely that climate change is occurring. The article argues that the need to respond and prepare for the effects of climate change is the only sensible option, as opposed to trying to change the climate.s.
