   There have always been climate shifts. It is a constant variable of the planet. But today’s climate change is different because it isn’t brought on by natural forces unless you consider human activity in that category. We are extracting and burning the coal, oil and gas laid down over hundreds of millions of years in previous periods of warmer climate on this planet. The problem isn’t that we are burning it. It is that we are burning it over a very short period of time, a couple of centuries, and as a result dumping the accumulation of those millions of years back into the atmosphere, forests and oceans at a rate faster than the absorptive capacity typical of natural processes. That’s the killer.

   So this article is far from a statement to declaim the issue of climate change and spins it as a positive for technological innovation. That is a bit of a joke although I am sure we will be innovating like crazy in coming years to deal with atmospheric warming and rising sea levels.
