The next step

So here’s the deal. I have been thinking about the two sides we have. The most important thing they agree upon is that changes are occurring to the climate. The differences as I have already stated is what/who is to blame. Skeptics think this is a natural cycle. Believers think humans are the cause. From the research I have done I believe that we have to do something. If we wait longer the problem is only going to get worse. My problem comes in with what to do that pleases both sides. Is there a compromise?
If each household makes small changes that fit into their lives then that helps. The goal is to maintain the level of emissions for the next fifty years. Hopefully in that time scientist can discover the real cause of the changes. Right now there is evidence that supports humans’ effects. I do not think we should rush into anything before fully researching. Once we start a solution it will be difficult to change, but it might also be too late.

What makes this problem significant is timing. Time does not stop. So if we do nothing, the level of emissions is going to get worse. If we have to do something in order to steal time, we should do something that everyone can agree upon. Here is what I am asking you: what should that something be? At some point soon the older kind of light bulbs will no longer be made. So you will have to buy the new ones. If the industries only give people a green option then this will force people to change.
