hlink.net... "Capt. JG" wrote in message Really... you listen to both sides. So, what does science, real science from scientists, actually say about GW? If you bothered to be circumspect, you'd realize that the meteorological/geographical scientific community is almost evenly split on the subject. I contend that there are always a couple of wackos who are unconvinced by the preponderance of evidence. I see. When scientists disagree with your point of view, they are wackos? What do you believe in? I've made that clear in any number of posts. But since you seem to read selectively: I believe that the global warming we are currently experiencing is, to some unknown degree, influenced by the activities of mankind. I also believe that the warming trend is at least party natural and predictable, and would have occurred during this same period even if the Earth had no human population. The net effect of human activity upon the warming of the planet is unknown, albeit real. Until we actually know, any attempts to correct the perceived problem will likely have one of two outcomes: 1) it will achieve nothing substantive, or 2) it will cause unforseen changes which could make the situation worse. Cleaning up emissions is a laudable endeavor, if for no other reason than to clean up the air we breathe. So far, I have yet to see you cite any actual facts on the subject. I've cited at least as many facts as you have. You spout vitriol and platitudes, but offer up no evidence. You automatically assume that *everyone* already knows all about GW, or at least your version of it. You have a closed mind. Max You're completely wrong about an even split. The vast majority of scientists know that we're dramatically changing our environment for the worse. Look it up for gods sake. You're really not putting your best foot forward here. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
