Re: Are we going to solve climate change?

My feeling is we are fuked.

We can fix it, but its too political now. People on the right (far right?) think its either BS, natural cycles or it won't have much of an impact.

It is an arbitrary number Day "x" is OK, day "x" +1 is manslaughter The day at the moment is essentially birth ? I just googled. Its 22 weeks in South Australia. You can't abort a baby after 22 weeks, so I assume if a pregnant mother is killed 22 weeks pregnant, it can be counted as two deaths.
