http://news.yahoo.com/un-scientists-see-grim-future-no-action-035340842.html Questions for the deniers: How could so many scientists be wrong about this? If there is even a 50% possibility that they are correct can we afford to ignore them? |

Nope that is the issue, anyone who thinks we can change the composition of our atmosphere without consequencies is living in a dream world. It just a matter of time frame. I fail to see why some people object to clean air. |

Greed trumps all including clean air. The greedy live in the moment. |

The truly good will leave in the Rapture and who cares about the rest. God doesn't want the earth saved, just breed more souls for him to take.

Let the member of this forum who is not contributing his/her fair share to environmental pollution cast the first stone. |

Is that a peer reviewed paper from the original source? If not then according to telcoman and other alarmists it has no worth and must be disregarded. |

There is that "all or nothing" position of the right. No one that I know wants us to move back into caves. However as most know many small changes add up to big ones. |

Apparently it is not a peer reviewed paper. |

If the forecasts prove out Ken, the economic calamity and loss of standard of living will not be caveman like in scope, we won't be living in caves, but we also won't have much money left over for anything else, as the infrastructure needs overwhelm us. Right now as in the past, most people on the planet live close to or upon large bodies of water. A rise in sea level means relocating most of mankind. Climate is a concern that is the topic but over population is the real issue. Were we a nation of 50,000,000 as we were when our great great grandparents were alive, a climate Armageddon would be a catastrophe, but one that could be dealt with and allow for the onward march of prosperity and innovation. But instead we are headed toward 400,000,000 and as has been pointed out here in the past, much of the reports of tornadoes and damage occurs where nobody lived back then. If a tree falls in the forest can you hear it? No if you don't live close by, yes if you do. I don't know what is going to become of it all, this weekend we had a square mile mudslide north of here. This happened outside Darrington, a rural logging and farming area. Or it used to be. Now the population has extended way out there and several neighborhoods with untold lives were washed away. The roots from trees used to hold the water from snow runoff or regional rain. It rains a lot up there, over 7 inches this past month. Logging has removed the trees that used to hold the water in roots, we now have mudslides like never before. And then you have the growing population spreading out where it never used to be. I know the thread is about the negative impact of atmospheric pollution but the cause is a growing population. When the caveman started polluting campfires and fire pits, there were few of them, now we use other fuels for the energy and warmth, but we have 7 billion doing so. Cause and affect. I think nature itself is going to be the mindless force that solves global warming. And it isn't going to be pretty as a critical mass is reached and billions perish. |

It does not claim to be. It is a general statement of conclusion, based on 1000's of peer reveiwed papers. Of course unless you have been asleep for the past 10 years you know that. It is simply collective opinion on the broad subject based on the evidence. |
