The Climate Change issue is at boiling point, literally !
Alarmists & Deniers are everywhere. They both claim to know but do they ?
The most common attacks on the realists are that they should do "something" about Climate Change. I have asked on several occasions for people to explain what they envisage by the term "something" but no replies to-date.
The first reality people must agree on that Climate Change is a natural on-going & that there is excessive pollution which is more than likely adding to increased warming & general degrading of the atmosphere.
Should we curb travel, plastic, fuel consumption, industrial activity etc etc ? Should we start by making the first move or should we continue to tell others to do "something" ?
Who'd be the first to start complaining if we curbed travel, food packaging, air conditioning, heating, the number of cars on the road, computers ?
Would anything we do here in Australia have any positive impact at all on the Globe ? How could 25 million Australians convince the 7 billion others to take notice of what we propose should be done ?
I'd like to see contributions to this thread on solutions, not the usual barrage of sarcasm.

Something went wrong with the title of this thread.
It should be Define the meaning of "Something ".

Dear Individual,

Those who want something done about climate change mean that they want others to worry about it too and give attention to their own worries, they basically want a shoulder to cry on, they want others to identify with them, they don't want to feel that they are alone.

Yuyutsu,
With the massive hysteria that even affects elections, no-one can possibly still think that they're alone in their concerns about what we're doing to our atmosphere & the natural environment.
Define "something" in the context of climate change alarmists' call for action by Govts. !

Thorium Salt reactors sound like the best "something" that I've found.

That said though, I wish the focus on global warming was on something that is real instead of not. Pollution, giant trash collections, and smog are real. That's enough of a fight isn't it? Like you Individual I'm tired of the hysteria of global warming.

Global warming is real, so is the fact that we exist under a finite Sun, and it's about time that someone worried about the looming danger of its extinction.
