Take a look at the past! I'll be dead and gone before this shit happens, unless it's a miracle. It doesn't bother me if people think what will happen is beyond their lifetime. I don't think it is.
I have taken a good long hard look at the past and that is exactly why I find warmists to be absolutely rediculous. You carry on as if a few degrees of temperature increase is going to destroy life on earth when for most of earth's history, it has been considerably more than a few degrees warmer than the present.
Take a look at this very simple temperature history of the earth and then tell me exactly why you fear warming that warming is going to destroy life on earth and more importantly in the grand cycle of things, how in the hell you believe we can, in any way, interfere with the cycles of the earth?
Remember that responsibity lesson conservatives like to preach! I am a responsible person and I don't hurt the innocent people or animals of Earth. I'm a kind person.
But you do heart the innocent people of the earth. More bodies can heaped up at the alter of liberal and enviornmentalist thinking than from all the wars humanity has ever experienced.
You and yours leave a wake of carnage behind you and somehow remain completely oblivious to it...or perhaps you just don't care and view the wake of death behind you as simply collataral damage, unimportant ...simply a means to an end.
I don't think liberals believe they are doing harm or are wrong any more than conservatives do though. Except for the self serving policies to enrich or increase power for certain persons or groups, and both sides can fall prey to that temptation, I think most Americans mean well in their personal philosophies.
But in the area of AGW, I do wish that there was less tunnel vision and more willingness to embrace the bigger picture. For instance, those of us who enjoy the luxuries and blessings of living in developed nations got here by exploiting the earth's resources and utilizing them to good advantage.
If AGW becomes so strong a religion and political component that undeveloped nations are denied the same ability, we could doom the poorest people of the world to many more generations of crushing poverty. How cruel would that be if AGW is more fiction than fact re the harm it might do?
And why are so many persuaded to give up their liberties, choices, options, opportunities to accommodate what very well may be flawed science?
