CO2 in the atmosphere just exceeded 415ppm for the first time in human history
What I don&#x27;t understand is why this is so controversial. I clicked on a link in the article, leading to this article: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;techcrunch.com&#x2F;2019&#x2F;05&#x2F;06&#x2F;new-study-shows-human-development-is-destroying-the-planet-at-an-unprecedented-rate&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;techcrunch.com&#x2F;2019&#x2F;05&#x2F;06&#x2F;new-study-shows-human-deve...</a>. The comment on it is extremely dismissive about climate change. I see this on pretty much every news website nowadays. First of all I don&#x27;t see how man-made climate change is even controversial with the amount of evidence we have, but furthermore I don&#x27;t see why we shouldn&#x27;t transition to renewable energy asap anyway. Even if climate change would be a hoax (which it is not), then why would it be a bad thing to make changes to prevent it from happening anyway? Why would it be a bad thing to get rid of air pollution? Why would it be a bad thing to switch to an energy source that doesn&#x27;t run out in ~20 years simply because it isn&#x27;t renewable?
