One has to be staggeringly stupid to march in lockstep with the leftists on this issue, actually

And of nature, leftists act as though it is some form of holy of holies deity, though most leftists at the same time claim to be nonreligious

Nature as we know it is finite, regardless of our actions.

So let us enjoy and use nature in the short time that we are here, the best that we are able

And let the leftists go back to living in the cold dark caves where they will be happiest

And under the troll bridges as well [;)]

The stupidity of the notion that you have to be leftist to worry about possible globalwarming is staggering beyond belief. Whatever else, mankind is having a drastic effect on nature and not only on this issue.

This issue is far from settled. Even if it is confirmed that humans contribute to "climate change" then it is hardly considered "settled;" scientists of all stripes will disagree regarding how much weight to assign each variable.

So what, nothing in the report says its settled, just what is likely to happen given the known facts. It doesnt alter the fact change IS taking place.

The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years. The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century.

Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.

Meanwhile, leading climate scientists yesterday told The Mail on Sunday that, after emitting unusually high levels of energy throughout the 20th Century, the sun is now heading towards a ‘grand minimum’ in its output, threatening cold summers, bitter winters and a shortening of the season available for growing food.Tune in next week for more "Settled Science."

Sure. But what can be done about it?

Stopping the increase in carbon emissions would require such a drastic change in living that it won't be supported by the public. Also, even if Western countries somehow agree to take action, it won't matter. Good luck convincing China and India about implementing similar measures.

5900 extra deaths a year by 2050? Shit, is that all? Hardly will meet our Malthusian needs to off-set the burgeoning world population. Really, war is much more efficient. [8|]

Sea farming? Seeding more plankton in the ocean.

With the nutrients presently in the upper 200 meters of the worlds oceans, Plankton populations are presently at or very close to carrying capacity for the environment. Microphytes are fast reproducing and will totally fill any given environment to the limit allowed by predators and resources within a very short time.

The molecules detected by the research team occur naturally in the presence of alkenes, chemical compounds which are mostly released by plants.

"Plants will release these compounds, make the biradicals and end up making sulphuric acid, so in effect the ecosystem can negate the warming effect by producing these cooling aerosols," Percival said.

politesub, Have you been watching the weather in Alaska ? The high temp today was 27 degrees below zero. The low was minus 44. 16 days this month the low temp has been - 40 or lower. This is the coldest winter they have had since 1971. I guess that settles it.
