we are past the point of intervention to reverse global warming.
They've been saying that for the past 20+ years, if not longer. I remember one overly dramatic documentary said London would be under water by 2012/2014.
They also said we would get severe storms that batter the coast and erode our coasts 10 years on after the above mentioned years. - to the point that it would put immediate towns in danger along the coast.
Neither of which has happened, David Attenborough was on that train too back then.
This is why I remain sceptical of it, I'm not saying that we should continue with the current factory trends, but the debate is pretty evenly divided on the subject.
I do think businesses that require factories will become more and more efficient as time goes on. Again, that's a personal opinion based on immediate observation, I'm definitely no expert in that field.
