Actually, it's a lot worse than that. I don't have the time or inclination
to cite the references, but it's much worse than one degree in 100 years.

We know lots about the effects and we're learning more by the day. Every
credible scientist can see that there's a huge problem coming, and we need
to get to it now.

It's easy to claim that things are hopeless or "unclear" and do nothing and
try nothing.

Well, it's pretty clear that you don't believe that global warming is
happening and that we can do something about it.

I know you directed this to Lloyd, but I hope you'll accept my answer,
too.

I believe that global warming *is* happening, and I do believe that the
net effects of human inhabitation are at least part of the cause. The
best prediction by most scientists is that the mean temp of the Earth will
rise by less than 1 degree F by the year 2100. What no one knows is
whether one degree will be signficant enough to cause the sort of
potentially catastrophic effects that may imperil our existence. My point
is--we know almost nothing about the potential effects of global warming.
How are we supposed to know how to curb the process? Literally every
attempt by man to control major global climatic effects has been a dismal
failure. For example, some recommend efforts to reduce the level of CO2
in the atmosphere, but we *do* know that CO2 is necessary for plant life,
and that reducing it may result in a significant reduction of global
foliage, causing a rapid increase in temperature. Conundrum.

So, good for you. Perhaps you should post a few dozen more links... like
I'm going to take the time out of my busy schedule! Bwahahahahaaaaa

Ah, so you aren't worried about global warming. Okay.

Not to worry--we'll all be long gone anyway when the next ice age hits in
about 2000 years.
