Climate change, will we beat it? Yes, for 5 reasons. And No, for another 5.

There is no more divisive issue than climate change. A phenomenon so all-encompassing as to cover almost all aspects of our life, and on several hinges. The spatial one, because it concerns the planet at all its latitudes, and the temporal one, because it has knots to untie in the past, present and future.

For those who are surprised by the fact that there are already those almost 200 years ago he warned us yet we are still here to argue, know that it is a completely obvious thing. There is a strong debate about climate change because it is a complex and controversial issue: the divisions between those who believe it is possible to defeat climate change and those who believe it is not possible are due to the widespread uncertainty about the extent and timing of these changes, as well as the role of man in their existence.

I've collected around two lists of "pros" and "cons".

We will defeat climate change because:

1. Awareness of the problem of climate change is growing globally, prompting nations, companies and people to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
2. L'increased use of renewable energy sources, like the sun and the wind, is helping to reduce the use of fossil fuels, a major cause of climate change.
3. Technological advances are making renewable sources ever more efficienti and economically competitive compared to fossil fuels.
4. Reducing local air pollution levels gradually improves people's health and reduces the health care costs of long-term exposure to pollution.
5. Le international initiatives, like the Paris Accords, promote global cooperation to tackle climate change and develop sustainable solutionsat the global level.

We will not defeat him because of:

1. Lack of political will and adequate funding to implement effective solutions to temperature rise andrising oceans.
2. Denial and resistance from some governments and industries to change theirs environmentally harmful practices.
3. Difficulty coordinating global action Before it's too late and to reach a binding international agreement on reducing emissions.
4. Dependence of societies and the economy on fossil fuels and excessive consumption of natural resources.
5. Inertia of the climate system and difficulty in predicting exactly the effects of our actions on climate change.

What idea do you have? Today I was the referee, limiting myself only to presenting (and linking the ideas). Are you aligned with the #teamcelafaremo or with the #teamsiamospacciati? Let me know.
