In fact I see no inconsistency at all, because I am familiar with the science and the projections.
For some reason only Americans are still calling "climate change" "global warming" - apparently because Americans think "change" is good - at least that is what I am told.
Climate change essentially will result in increasingly severe weather and greater deviations from the mean. Indeed, it means there is more energy in the atmosphere which in turn will raise the overall mean for the temperature of the planet. The local affects of that change can, perversely lead to very cold snaps.
Europe's mild climate, for instance, is a result of the warm water being transported up from the Gulf of Mexico. If that were to change as a result of cooling waters and reduced salinity (from the melting of the Greenland ice sheet caused by warminging in that part of the world) Europe could get much colder.
Your comments at the end of the story and those of the vast majority of those trying to debunk climate change (including Rush)is generally a result of a failure to recognize the incredibly complex system we are dealing with.
Doing nothing and just "seeing what happens" is a Pascal's wager that seems like a very bad choice.
You can choose to close your eyes and beleive that thousands of scientists are just under the sway of some vast left-wing conspiracy, or you can actually take a look at what legitimate apolitical scientists have been comiling, writing and saying - and not just the wacky fringe on both sides - and then make a choice.
Until then, you appear to me, by your comments from posting this, to be fairly uneducated in the developments that will result from climate change.
Nevertheless, I appreciate you making me aware of the article and thank you for being a thoughtful individual.
Although I am not as simple-minded and poorly educated as your comments might suggest, I thank you for your thoughtful reply.
If you don't mind, from time to time, I'd like to send you news articles and reports from well-recognized scientists that are inconsistent with mainstream views on "climate change" (formerly known as "global warming").
I try to heed the advice of three wise Americans:
Peter Drucker, who said, "There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all."
Davy Crockett, who said: "Be sure you're right, then go ahead."
And Kermit, who said: "It's not easy being green."
