As I have outlined on a number of ocassions, refer to the IPCC reports. These reports, the consensus of current science (noting that the next series of reports are due in the coming year (s)), discuss the challenges associated with climate change, and potential options for its mitigation and adaption. It also raises some of the effects of climate change, both which are positive and negative impacts. The IPCC also acknowledges both potential positive and negative impacts exist and also suggests that there is consensus that negative impacts are likely to outnunber the positive impacts.
As also outlined, one can’t just read one particular viewpoint which might support ones own opinions, without also reading/reviewing published science with may have a range of different and alternative scenarios and outcomes. Fortunately the IPCC has already reviewed a wide range of different publications, modelling scenarios and outcomes, established consensus and the probabilities of each of the ideniified potenital impacts.
I suggest that the IPCC reports are read if one wishes to understand the current scientific consensus, the impacts (positive and negative) of climate change and potential mitigation and adaption options. The reports can be found using the links in earlier posts.
