Any fallout from China’s dispute over a couple of insigfnificant islands pales in comparison with the millions of deaths from MMGW predicted over the next few decades. “The [WHO] predicts that an additional 250,000 people will die annually between 2030 and 2050 from conditions caused or exacerbated by climate change.” That's annually, as in 250,000 deaths PER YEAR. According to The Lancet, the number is closer to 500,000+ deaths in 2050. (http://www.newsweek.com/climate-change-leads-500000-deaths-altering-food-production-433182)
Hum, I've been hearing the same predictions for nearly 40 years. Still waiting to see one prediction come true. The only real thing to take from it is that now, as well as 40 years ago, the people who believe this stuff sure drink a lot of kool aide.
Again...why does it matter who's "right"?
Because, and this response is also a response to the statement below the statement I'm responding to, you are not Copernicus. You have no understanding of technology. Most of the left who believe as you do have no understanding of technology. You simply hold your beliefs, as did the accusers of Copernicus, as a matter of dogmatic faith. You are not Copernicus you are the church. You are the one wasting time, money, and labor on dogma. Real people are trying to solve real problems and you, along with your church, are holding back progress.
Don't you think everybody wants to quit burning fossil fuels? Don't you think the are hundreds, if not tens of thousands, of real scientists who dream of discovering the "real" alternative? Well, those real scientists will never have the chance, just like Copernicus, as long as people like you dogmatically require them to adhere to your faith.
Actually...I never suggested I was as smart as Copernicus...it was a reference....to being wrong in history....and yet, the man was soooo unbelievable right...it was his doctrines that set us free (mathematically)....math (Copernicus) allowed us to go the Heavens....and no...I'm not the church....you'd be surprised at my leanings in that area.
As to dogma...I've been remarkably clear...I hold none. I don't have an opinion (at least as to who is right...I actually don't give a shit who's right....I don't see that it really matters...so long as we get to the right place).
"Most of the left who believe as you do have no understanding of technology"....well....you have me there...I have a dumb phone. Had a smart phone 3 years ago....hated it...demanded my (phone that makes uuhhhhmmmm.....phone calls....imagine that) back....my staff is getting me a smart phone next week....I'm sure I'll hate it but...I'm also sure (this time) I'll keep it.
(I kinda have to....I've been avoiding client demands on that topic a bit too long).
"Don't you think everybody wants to quit burning fossil fuels?"
I'm pretty sure I don't have a clue what "everybody" wants to do.
"Don't you think the are hundreds, if not tens of thousands, of real scientists who dream of discovering the "real" alternative? Well, those real scientists will never have the chance, just like Copernicus, as long as people like you dogmatically require them to adhere to your faith."
I hope the above is correct...I hope there are, as you say "tens of thousands" devoted to finding the "real alternative". (Whatever that is).
As to my faith...see above.
(And by the way....for clarity....my "faith" is in humans....I hope they're up to the task).
