>Riiiiight. That's overall pretty lame dude. There is no question that the man made climate change we are experiencing now is not a good thing - it's a bad thing.
I agree that people are causing global warming. I don't see how any thinking person who has flown over LA or Denver can deny it.
However, I'm questioning the assumption that 100 years from now, people will be suffering because of it.
They might be but it's a bit presumptuous on our part to assume that we can forecast that outcome.
Based on our current behavior people are at much higher risk of dying from death by auto, death by gunshot, disease, starvation related to war-induced migrations, or slaughter by warring armies, including ours.
Ask any of those people what kind of threat they think that man-made climate change is.
Many of the things we enjoy today - the Rocky Mountains, the oceans, the great forests - came about because of massive environmental disruptions- some occurring quickly and some occurring over hundreds of millions of years.
That kind of evolution is inevitable, and it's a bit arrogant to think that we know better than nature- the very nature that evolved the planet to the current state that supports us.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
