Branson may have ignored warnings about the safety of his cheezy rocket.

That link didn't work for me, it's too long. And I don't bother to
read left-wing propaganda anyway.

Using the scientific method, the only way to prove that CO2 harms the
planet is to build an exact copy of the planet and experiment on it.
That is quite beyond our technology. Actually, you'd need two
duplicates, one for a control.

Carbon emissions are obviously a problem.

No, they aren't. Especially when funds are diverted from controlling REAL pollutants to wasting time on C02.

Just don't get your hopes up that anything will be done about it. The
right will *never* concede that anthropogenic climate change is a
reality, even if all of the world's coastlines are inundated, the
coastal cities gone, the glaciers and ice caps are gone, and the State
of Florida and the Low Countries disappear. They will stick to the
story that fluctuations in sea level have occurred throughout the
Earth's 6000 year history. Admitting that science is right about
anything is a slippery slope for ideologues. First climate change, then
what? Deep Time? Evolution? Blastocysts aren't babies? A woman with a
brain that is 70% atrophied and who cannot see, hear, breathe, or eat,
is, in fact, dead? Never!

Anyway, no problem for you or me, not even financially. No way is the
right going to raise taxes to pay for amelioration or relief. If they
decide to do anything, which is by no means certain, it will be with
borrowed money. The greatest of the many miracles the GOP has given us
is the Reaganian discovery that the USG can borrow without limit, and
no one (no wealthy person, that is, meaning no one of consequence) ever
has to pay the debt.

Even I, at an elevation of 50 meters, am good for the rest of my life.
My best-case scenario is that the predictions are terribly wrong and
sea level rises, say, 45 meters in the next two to three years. Bingo!
Ocean-front property--with graceful palm trees--for me!

As for launching the wealthy into space, I'm all for it. Revive the
Saturn rocket. A few launches could carry a great number of people into
orbit if they didn't have to lift food, water, oxygen, or other
life-support apparatus.

Neither has any other scientific theory. But the evidence is
overwhelming, and that's how any reasonable person should understand
things.

I'm not. I expect it's going to be a rough few centuries for humanity.
Billions of deaths, poverty, and the end of any semblance of
democratic governments.

So be it. I guess I don't really care. Humans can screw themselves if
they choose. I won't be around for the worst of it. Perhaps we're just
and evolutionary dead end.

We are in the cooling phase of the cycles so how do you explain the current
warming?

It's probable that you put out more carbon emissions building solar
panels than they save.

What warming? There hasn't been any in 17 years. Last year was the
coldest on record. Right now there is a huge cold blast.

13 of the 14 warmest years on record have been in the 21st century.
There is a world outside the USA.
