Add to basketPaperback. Climate change has passed through a stellar career from an object of scientific research to the horrification of broad population of all age classes. Although the concerned phenomena will be discernible only in fifty or hundred years, it has acquired the rank of a "catastrophe".Is there some genuine menace? Scientific analyses of climate data have disclosed several real changes from which some are relatively reliable and others only possible hypotheses. The most important and verifiable finding is the global temperature growth by 1, 2 or 30C. These are differences most people would not notice without a thermometer in their hands. Even more important is the fact that a light warming would be a genuine blessing: warm temperatures are beneficial for our health and good feeling. Moreover, it is helpful in saving money for heating, building and clothing.With help of climate data downloads accessible to everyone, it can be shown that it is anything else but a threat. Extremes of temperature, precipitation and wind do not become stronger or more frequent. The temperature deviations toward strong frost become weaker and the temperature growth occurs more in the cold regions than in the warm ones - the weather becomes more levelled rather than more intemperate. The rise in sea level resulting from the warming goes on in an inconceivably slow pace - no one has to flee in panic. The continental plates below our feed are moving much faster.In summary, "the fight against climate change" is essentially an irrational endeavour. It is extremely expensive, its results are uncertain and it tries to avoid something that has many positive effects. It looks like a young man in a burning house, mostly worrying about his slightly increased cholesterol level which might, if untreated, slightly reduce his life expectancy in forty years.
