Figures lie and liars figure but

answer me this.


If you had to put your child on an airplane that was Guaranteed to crash at a certain percentage, what percentage would you accept?
Truthfully you do accept a certain failure rate already, so would you accept 50 - 50?

10% ?

5% ?

1% ?


Well an increase in Earth temperatures over 100 years is only about 95% certain.

While all the forces in the Universe are always in flux such as the Sun being very cool right now, and the 900% increase in CO2 on Earth since the 1800's, the liklihood of rising Earth temperatures (From whatever cause !) is like putting your child on an airplane that has a high probability of crashing.

Except that in the climate scenario, you HAVE TO put your child on that "plane".








I know people who feel that Sarah Palin has put the climate change "debate" to bed. But when asked the airplane crash question they do give pause.




So

stick that in your pipe and chew it.
