    As we establish record temperature highs and sea ice lows, I think that we all should heed the precautionary principle and work hard to mitigate our potential effects on the climate.http://stripe.com/environment

        Sigh..., “sea ice lows” .... I know stupid rules when the slight 0.8 degree modern warming is vamped up to “record” & able to melt sub zero polar ice- minus 25to50 C.

        F that. Precautionary Principle is weaksauce for fraidy cats who don't understand science, statitstics, or math. It overrides a good risk model with blind fear. We should fight to mitigate our effect on climate because research shows it's happening, and it will be devastating.

        "our effect on climate" <> "climate" Read.

        You are not clever, so stop trying. Just be yourself! "our effect on climate change" is correct. Effect is a noun. Had I written "we should try not to affect climate" an 'a' would be needed to use the VERB "affect".
