@amber7255 Thanks for the first hand report. And I'm very sorry for your situation and hope you get help soon.

Germany produces 35% power renewable. How big is your percentage?

@katewade9992 Those big families you mention there do not produce the large amounts of climate change emissions. Industrialized countries do like America, Europe, China, India. Those countries have the highest saving potential and the largest demand for those technologies - if politics is not preventing them, e.g. by outside influence, greed, lazyness, etc.

And just being the 2nd or 3rd makes him harmless?

@raclark2730 I not quite understand what your problem is. The storm is there, it's devestating and looks like the one the largest ones so far. Does this help the people living there? Does this somehow negate the fact that storms like that happen more often (and less weaker ones)? Does this somehow negate climate change exists?

@raclark2730 I have not said there is a higher frequency of storms. I said there are more stronger and less weaker ones. This does not change the frequency but the average strength.

@raclark2730 If the storms are not your thing, maybe the drouts and heat is. Europe had a record one this year so intense that the river-transport traffic had to be suspended due to low water levels. Or China which has seen monuments at the bottom of rivers for the first time ever. Or India fighting 50°C. Or Pakistan drowning in above-average rain. Or if you prefer America. Let's talk about Lake Mead reaching century-record lows due to weak snow pack for a decade. Climate change has tons of different forms.

@raclark2730 Fear list? Fact list! These are not opinions this is counting. It happened. Each year new records (also not opinion but counting). And it continues to happen. Look I would be more then happy being wrong on this because I have to live on this planet as well and will feel the results as much as you will. So let's say: I hope I am wrong, but I fear I am right. And so far the events did not prove me wrong.

@raclark2730 Reduce emitting gases which helps heating up the oceans like CO2 and Methan ... just to be sure. But you or I cannot do much or better the things we personally do have little effect. The best we can do is voting for people who have the power and willpower to do more and the access to research to make the right decission. Not too expensive not too little leading to a gradual change of economy without crashing it.

We already did, by releasing in 200 years what nature needed 2 mio years to take out. We also managed to create the ozon layer problem and to stop the ozon problem simply by stop using those dangerous chemicals destroying the ozon layer (well all countries but China anyway). We already did change the planet multiple times.
