Two Years To Save The World
from the not-so-bad,-right? dept
A new study has shown that, despite some dire predictions by governments around the world, it really wouldn't be that costly to stop global warming over the long term. The study suggests that the world economy will be five times as large as it is today in 100 years. However, if we take some time to fix the atmospher, it would take 102 years to reach that point (according to the researchers). The study is designed to contradict government officials who say it would create a worldwide recession if we had to spend time fixing the atmosphere.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Let's Get Our Priorities Straight
We simply have our priorities confused.

It could fix the recession
Replacing outdated and high polluting autos, appliances, heavy equipment, factories and such, would provide work. People working at good paying jobs spend money on new things.

the last cow
Hell we wanted to tap one of our own wildlife refuges just for the oil even though studies said there is only enough there for 2 full days of use for the entire country.
Many of the words problems right now would be lessened or erased completely if we just got off the oil kick. We just need to get a clean, green-friendly, renewable resource that cant be taken hostage by the rich folks.

Re: No Subject Given
2) If you do have that research...I'm not convinced that's true. If you have that research was it biased? Paid for by oil companies?
3) While it MAY be true (and I would hope that it IS true that Global Warming is a NON event, one less thing to worry about)...Global warming is NOT the ONLY consequence of pollution that we have to worry about.
