Your knee-jerk pan-skepticism is laughable. Everything is "speculation" with you, such that any assessment of degree of reasonableness is implicitly dismissed as futile. Surely you sit at home all day and all night as it's mere "speculation" that you'll survive the transit to work or to a restaurant or movie theater.

It's not knee-jerk at all. I have merely pointed out the environmentalists usage of the words 'possible' and should'. If those words do not directly imply speculation, in the normal usage of the words, what do they mean?

Just turn on the news tonight and you'll find LOTS of folks that were sure that that event would occur, but, alas, it did not.
