Hmm do you also "believe" in Santa Claus, The Tooth Fairy, and The Easter Bunny?

Heres what I think. The earth is getting warmer but no one can say why. Theres nothing linking it to human activity. (it may be so...)

If GW IS in fact caused by humans nothing is going to stop it. The third world including China and India have absolutely no intention of reducing green house gasses. Europe and the US could go to 0 emissions tomorrow (unlikely) and GW would still be driven by the third world.

What we need to do is plan for when the oceans rise however many feet they are going to rise, however many category 100 hurricanes there are going to be a year, and the dessertification of most of the world.

Unfortunately no one can say what those numbers will be either. And NOTHING will be done about it in any case...

I don't agree with your paragraph #4. However, I AM IN 100% AGREEMENT WITH YOU re Paragraphs #1, #2, #3, and #5.

[QUOTE=nookandcrannycar;754764]

I don't agree with your paragraph #4. QUOTE]

If the earth keeps getting warmer OR GW by man is real something like those things will happen. Boston, NY, Philly (and all South Jersey), Baltimore, Washington, Norfolk, and a whole lot of places between there and Jacksonville FL are going to become uninhabitable long before they join Atlantis at the bottom of the ocean.

I don't know if GW is real or not. It doesn't have to be either. The earth might be warming all by itself and the same bad things happen.

Ive read in Siberia the indoor temperature of the average house in winter is 20 degrees F and the people wear all their clothes to bed at might. Global Warming....? Siberians want to know what can they do to make it happen!

What we CAN do is decide ahead of time what to do IF the oceans rise.

But no, I don't think we're capable of that either.

Most likely we'll start things off by blaming each other for what happens and killing billions of us until the population is 1/5 of what it is today.

You rock, humanity!

Same subject as paragraph #4, but this I agree with .
