Well, we get large groups of internationally respected scientists assuring us that this warming trend IS indeed happening, and that WE are one major factor in the equation.....and we get one or two guys who continue to assert otherwise.....and there will be lots of folks who grasp at those naysayers reports and refuse to cooperate because it affects their business, stock market planning, religious beliefs or vacation plans.

I, for one, am worried about what will happen when sea level rises in places like Bangladesh and Indonesia and water is scarce in other places. All those folks who can't live where they used to are gonna want to live somewhere else. I can't predict the minute details of the consequences of that situation, but I'm reasonably sure we won't like it.

I CAN predict that *IF* the more pessimistic predictions happen, the world population would need to reduced by a factor of 50-80% for an indefinite period. There are sane, humane ways to reduce population....and there are the ways that would be employed in emergencies.

Who, me? Cynical? naawwwwwww....
