Dysan battles the GW kooks
The conceptualizer of Project Orion, man's only hope to reach
interstellar space also knows something about global warming. But it won't endear him to the hysterical nuts who think the World is about to end. http://www.bellinghamherald.com/102/story/43354.html Dec. 7, 2006 Science can fix climate woes, author contends Freeman Dyson tells students a wet Sahara once supported livestock herds After branding himself a heretic, mathematician and physicist Freeman Dyson told a Fairhaven College audience that fears of global warming are overblown. Dyson acknowledged that human activity is adding carbon dioxide to the Earth?s atmosphere, and that could raise its temperature. But he said he finds scientists? climate models unconvincing. He also expressed confidence that the negative effects of global warming, if any, could be overcome, while some areas of the Earth would likely benefit from the change. Six thousand years ago, Dyson said, glaciers in the Alps were much smaller than they are today, and the Sahara was wet enough to support herds of livestock. |

That makes you INSANE too. |

But it won't endear him to the hysterical nuts who think the World is about to end. Years ago I heard Linus Pauling give his vitamin C talk. Just because a great scientist takes up a position, doesn't make it a great position. He also said: “New species of termites could be engineered to chew up derelict cars instead of houses,” When they run out of cars to eat maybe they can eat tanks and aircraft carriers. What about skyscrapers? Thems good eatin! http://www.bellinghamherald.com/102/story/43354.html Dec. 7, 2006 Science can fix climate woes, author contends Sure, social science. Climate change is a result of cultural and technological change. IMO, "fixes" will require both technological and social change e.g. renewable energy sources, improved efficiency of heating, transportation, and manufacturing, the desire to embrace efficiencies such as bicycle, foot, rail or bus over car, and the US leading the world in abandoning rampant consumerism (yeah right-listen to me ;-) ). Freeman Dyson tells students a wet Sahara once supported livestock herds After branding himself a heretic, mathematician and physicist Freeman Dyson told a Fairhaven College audience that fears of global warming are overblown. Dyson acknowledged that human activity is adding carbon dioxide to the Earth?s atmosphere, and that could raise its temperature. But he said he finds scientists? climate models unconvincing. He also expressed confidence that the negative effects of global warming, if any, could be overcome, while some areas of the Earth would likely benefit from the change. The problems arise along with the oceans. It will cost a lot of money to move most of the worlds biggest cities. Unless you think the New Orleans solution is preferred? Also, people will struggle to continue farming their arable land in the face of more frequent and severe drought before abandoning it. The world population can adapt relatively quickly to farming in areas with improved climate for agriculture, but it will likely given the nature of people, create hardship for individuals and nations. Do you think the nations of Africa and Asia will all work together like the good buddies they always have been when the going gets rough? Six thousand years ago, Dyson said, glaciers in the Alps were much smaller than they are today, and the Sahara was wet enough to support herds of livestock. So it's time to give the U.N. some muscle over major countries like the U.S., Russia, and China. Force everyone to work and sacrifice toward a solution. Lets get going comrade! Shawn P.S. sorry for feeding the troll, he looked so sad and hungry. |

And those countries (perhaps as many as 50% of them) that are unable or are unwilling to "work internationally"--what do we do about them? |

The U.S. is the model country for "unwilling to work internationally". You tell me and we'll both know. Shawn |

Keep going what's your point. 10,000 years ago most of the Northern US was covered with a mile of ice. As th glaciers retreated they created the Great Lakes and the finger lakes in NY. Of course the Sahara was wet. The more importatn question is what to do about the human induced changes that are superimposed on the natural changes. There is not a single person in the cliamte change community whose does not acknowledge natural climatic change. It Infoe and other clueless rightwingers that distort everything |

Why is it the kooks ALWAYS harp on the negatives, if there really are any? The predications of the left when it comes to technology, industry and environment have always been way off (peak oil in 1980, etc) because they are emotional, irrational and jump to conclusions. Pretty soon, they make it a crime to discuss global warming repercusions in anything but a negative light. Global warming's "fight" is nothing more than the biggest socialist scam off all time. A method of shifting trillions of dollars and millions of jobs out of the West. Otherwise, China, which is predicted to be producing 4x the U.S. output of C02 by 2025 would have been included in the disgusting Kyoto agreement for controlling C02. |
