>>Exactly how much responsiblity does mankind deserve for a trend that started before we existed? As I see it, that is the crux of the problem between environazis who want cars to be illegal and the intestinal tracts of cows taxeed and regulated like Al, and most of the rest of us.<<

My point was that rising oceans are a problem no matter what the cause. They are not a short term catastrophe that mandates caving into Al Gore but they would be a problem even if he had never been born.

IMHO we need to do 5 things

1. Concede that global warming is real
2. Concede that global warming/rising sea level is a real problem
3. Make the public aware of the slow nature of the problem to hold off stupid/radical solutions
4. Put the focus back on seeking proof of what is causing it
5. Electing officials, particularly a President, who understand #1 - #4

What if it's NOT real?

stupid/radical solutions scare mongering. Apparently you've bought into the global warming, supposed, problem. There isn't a problem yet your inclination is to think there are solutions. Which presupposes you think global warming is a problem.

the slow nature of the problem

So slow that by the time man figures out what to do about global warming that they find out that the slow moving cycle is headed to an ice age. Perhaps man's technology advances are and have been thwarting greater global warming.
