Why don't you just wait until you see flames, then buy a policy? Not a good analogy, since we can obviously affect what happens to our own homes. There is quite literally nothing that can be done by the average person to influence the world's climate -- one way or the other -- so all this blather and hand-wringing is nothing but noise and fury, signifying nothing. Nah. Humans are doing it, humans can stop doing it. Well, except to the folks who stand to make a few billion dollars in windfall profits by "studying" the phenomenon. You heard that somewhere, evidently; whom are you talking about, exactly? But all argument aside, I would politely ask for a list of things that we -- you and I -- can do that will "help" the climate problem as you see it. Support taking tax breaks away from oil companies and applying them to alternative energy development. Vote against politicians who are dumping subsidies into bio-ethanol production and for politicians who'll spend the money on solar and wind power. Drive a more fuel efficient car. Apply energy conserving methods to your home and business. Note that giving up your airplane is nowhere on the above list. And I have a polite question: Do you understand why a 3 deg. C rise in global average temperature by 2100 is a big deal? -- Dan "Sanity is not to be without fantasy, but to know reality, and remember the difference." - Clive James |
