Cuss and discuss.

The point is that climate change will have consequences that
will be difficult to foresee but will go far beyond weather
or economics. There is abundant evidence that economic stress
and crop failures ? as climate scientists anticipate in poor
countries ? can lead to violence and upheavals.

What is the problem with that point?

Well for starters it neglects to point out that glbal warming
(recently renamed 'climate change') hasn't been happening for ten
years.

How long do you think man has been influencing the weather / environment?

Never. We don't have the capacity to do more than limited very
localized effects.

Well, if that is your view of course you will not accept what the article
was saying. I, along with most of the experts in the area, disagree with
you... but to each their own.

Since the notion of a consensus has been exploded many times Its clear
that you mean 'experts that you agree with'.
Most of the experts you agree with also claim that its been warming
for the last ten years and that the 1990's were the hottest years of
the 20th century too. The reality is that the temperature hasn't risen
for the last decade


This is what bothers me. Why hasn't the ever increasing amount of
emissions that's been released since the beginning of this century taken
its toll in the better part of the last decade, weather-wise? Since 2000
we've actually gotten much worse as far as our environmental actions
go... but the weather data thus far in this century doesn't support the
claim of a continued trend of warming.

Clearly you were paid by the oil companies to post that. 8)
