If it's the latter, please give him the benefit of your wisdom as to what he is saying. I'm not interested."
Quote:iowan15: "Kyoto is a 'concerted' response. How's that workin' out for you?"char: "It's working better than if we didn't have it,"
Quote:char: "but worse than if it were truly a concerted response of the world's biggest polluters, the biggest of which is the US. Maybe you aren't aware that the US is not a signatory."
Quote:iowan15: "Just like we muddled through the population bomb scare, the Alar scare, the acid rain scare, etc."char: "The results aren't all in on the population challenge, but thanks to some extremely aggressive action by many governments around the world, we're in a lot better position than we could have been."
Quote:char: "Alar was a minor scare that one network hyped, and doesn't belong in this category."
Quote:char: "Acid rain has done a lot of damage to forests and fish, but thanks to some government action to control sulfur and nitrogen emissions, it's a lot better than it would have been had it gone unchecked. Your examples aren't working very well for you, are they?"
Quote:iowan15: "You're one fearless forecaster, char!"char: "I've already made my forecasts; they're essentially the same as those made by the majority of the world's climate scientists. In my last post, I was drawing a comparison between the effects of you or me being wrong. It's just a fact that the consequences of doing nothing if we could ameliorate and plan for AGW are devastating, but the consequences of doing something when it wasn't necessary are in the category of annoyances. But I guess you'll be dead before the worst comes, so why should you care?"
