oops, Sorry-I just read your post, in which you acknowlege that the "Kyoto Plan/Protocol is useless as written."

IMO, we have far more important things in life than worrying about the planets temperature changes.

I spend a lot of time in the ocean, friend, and I've seen temp changes of 10 degrees from one day to the next, just because of up welling. I get a little tired of chicken little scientists who have an agenda of obtaining more govt. funding, and in the process, lining their own pockets with these taxpayer funded studies. Hey; if we humans can't affect atmospheric conditions......than who needs the study? See the agenda?

You science guys that look at this planet as if it were some little biosphere bubble, are so narrowly focused, that you can't see the forest for the trees.
-> Which, btw, we have more of today than anytime in history, thanks to modern firefighting techniques.
Regards

Have you ever seen a coral bleaching event?

Coral Bleaching and Mass Bleaching Events

Do you think that we should be concerned about these events? The increasing incidence of such events? The possible cause of this increasing incidence? The rapid decline of many of the world's coral reef areas?

If you think there is reason for concern here, then we may agree about a lot more than you think we do.
