Climate change is a reality. The glaciers are melting and the sea is getting hotter – with intractable consequences like rising sea-levels. But, that said, the climate models are inexact and we don't know by how much temperatures are going to rise and how rapidly. This is largely a matter of reasoned conjecture. What we know for sure is that climate change is going to be the biggest challenge of the 21st century.
We also know that we have to address man-made global warming by reducing our carbon emissions, which have been rising steadily since the beginning of the industrial revolution. This means that we have to re-engineer almost all the technology on which we have been reliant for so long. New industries such as renewable energy and GMOs in farming are now imperative.
