It doesn't seem a problem at all; the earth's climate has been warming for 150 years but nobody has yet identified any problems as a result of this. You haven't been hugging any dying trees, recently, have you? http://www.horseandcountry.tv/news/s...climate-change Opening line: The forests of Scotland could be increasingly at risk ... Speculation that bad things may happen in the future. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/01/deadtrees/ Opening line: "Trees in western North America are dying at faster and faster rates, and climate change is *likely* to blame ... Nor does it note what is replacing the trees, or state whether this is an improvement or not. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28773860/ Opening paragraph: "... that identified the most probable cause as warming temperatures" http://blogs.nationalgeographic.com/...zon-trees.html This was the result of a storm, not global warming. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE50S0OA20090129 "The worst heatwave in 100 years". The worst recorded heatwave occurred over 100 years ago. So much for global warming. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009...eatwave-deaths Same deal. Worst in 100 years. By their very peculiar definition. Not the worst ever. Not even by their peculiar measure. I am constantly amazed by people's gullibility. The climate has been warming for 150 years, and no one has been able to point out what the problem is. Australia get heat waves; the Amazon gets storms. Ecosystems have changed and will change, this has been happening for billions of years. The AGW people cannot point to a single problem deriving from the earth having been generally warming for over 150 years. This is despite literally billions of dollars being spent trying to find connections (researchers love blaming climate change if they can, as it opens up additional research funding opportunities). But despite 150 years of warming temperatures, it is impossible to identify a single problem this has definitely caused, or a major problem it "may" have caused. Yet they want us to believe that despite no evidence of any real problems after 150 years of global warming, apparently another 30 years and the world will end. No, it won't. If we were 80% of the way to global calamity, we would have very strong indicators now. The fact that in one city in Australia the emperors were almost as hot as they were 100 years ago, or that there was a big storm in the Amazon, is not because of global warming. I am sure that Adelaide had heat waves and the Amazon had storms long before we started building coal fired power stations. I might also point out that over the last 150 years the earth's agricultural productivity has increased approximately ten-fold, people are far less likely to die from bad weather, and on every possible social and economic indicator the world is doing extremely well. If this is what happens, climate change is a good thing. |

John Savard John, I suggest you ignore the foul-mouthed infant. The slightest encouragement and we get the full frontal, "unique viewpoint", knee-jerk, mooning troll. Why add one more fool to the forum's troll tally when he is so easily ignored? For all we know they are all one, and the same, fool. |
