Then I suggest you join me here in Norway and see the effects with your own eyes, while the glaciers are still here.
Speaking of shrinking glaciers, the rivers from the melting ice is another source of clean drinking water that will vanish from many places

“This area is mainly desert and the people who live here receive their water from the mountains. Melting glaciers also provide water for hydroelectricity, industry and farming.”

The evidence of change is there, the cause is important to understand how to prevent it but awareness that it is happening will help prevent future conflicts.
Being aware of the changes that are a reality will help us to react and that alone serves the cause of peace.

Indeed your glaciers are shrinking, did I suggest otherwise? The shrinking lakes and glaciers in Africa are not global warming (the temperature hasn't changed much there) but precipitation pattern changes. Those changes are mostly natural except for man-made deforestation.

You have decided a priori that "global warming" has caused all of this and only by "reacting" in ways you and the other socialists specify, can we stop this from happening. First, it is incorrect that all climate change is due to CO2, only some of it. Second, the remedies to climate change, reducing economic growth and increasing government control of the economy are much much worse than any of the changes that you are pointing out.

So what do we do first, boss?

Carry buckets of water up the mountain and hope they freeze to rebuild the glacier?
