How much would the weather patterns change if the average earth temp went up 2 degF? how many storms and droughts? how much alteration in ocean current? How many failed crops for dryland farmers? How much of this can we tolerate? The earth is perched in pretty fine ballance supporting 6+ billion H sapiens, and more all the time. How much room is left for the other forms of life on this planet? How hard would we have to hit the last undeveloped landmasses if there were widespread crop failures? How many starvations in the undeveloped world? How many would die of thrist on a planet where fresh water is already a thin commodity? How many extinctions of unique and wonderful species, let alone the possible commercial values of said species? How many dislocations and migrations of populations can we handle? (witness the slow remedy in Haiti for a relatively mild disaster on a world scale.) Are you so sure global warming is hoax? Are you willing to risk all of this on a stubborn point? If you are not concerned, you are not thinking. Mark Jardini MD, Capt, USAF (ret) Enough of this global warming discussion on RAS. If you guys have so much time, go and join another group. This is about flying please be respectful. Do we really want to discuss politics here? I hope not. |
