[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Global warming is the "evolution" of ecology. I fully expect to see creationists branching out into forcing "steady state" theories of climates on schools, even as the schools themselves sink into the ocean. First is right to say that scientists are far from agreement about why the planet is getting warmer and how far it is going to go, but denying the facts of the matter is extremely similar to claiming that Neanderthals were old people with bone malformations. The planet is getting hotter, and it is almost certainly getting hotter because of the massive amounts of CO2 we're pumping into the atmosphere. To take a wait and see approach to climate change is like not throwing a life preserver to a drowning man because he might learn to tread water before he goes under. And, as I am sure to be berated by the usual suspects, I should throw in that I don't think Kyoto was a good plan. I do know that it approached 110+ degrees here at 46.3135 N by 120.1537 W. This happens to be Unusual, or at least it would be, if we weren't breaking temperature records every year. If things cool off in ten years and I'm still burning all the coal I please, then great. I'll be the first to set an oil well on fire and have a party. But the evidence that my (and your) fossil fuel addiction is making the world a more uncomfortable place to live is convincing enough to suggest we do something about emmissions while we're waiting.
