I guess if we cling to the real definition of hoax, we have something that can be fun (a practical joke), but all to often the hoaxes we see these days are aimed at misinformation and that can be dangerous.
That's what hoaxes are.
(lord knows, I love a good hoax)
Oregon Lover (I wonder if he truly loves Oregon) is suggesting that the real possibly of significant changes in global climate is a hoax and that it's all a scheme to make Al Gore and his buddies rich.
Well...
The science is becoming more complete and convincing every day. It would seem prudent to at least begin to prepare for what might be ahead of us.
But, OL have been around long enough for us to take his measure. We might be better served to simply ignore his suggestions, like repeating (yet again) that climate change is a hoax.
There is certainly nothing wrong with being prepared for things. I am appreciative of the abilities of weather forecasters to tell me 3-4 days out what I need to prepare for. Their abilities past that timeline are speculative at best. But yes, I know weather and climate are two different things.
As for the changing climate, can you tell me, other than preparing for the changes, what can really be done by mankind to prevent the planet and the sun from doing what they do?
IMO your question asking about what we can to prevent the sun from doing what is does ... Leads me to believe you don't believe climate change is caused by humans and green house gases.
If that's not true then my answer is to try and stop burning fossil fuels as much as possible.
