To: a fool in paradise

So you still haven’t answered the question - unless it’s to tacitly agree. “Man is not the cause and man cannot correct it” is a staement that shows you do believe that Earth’s climate is changing.

Olay, so the Earth’s temperature is climbing. You believe that Man’ activities have nothing to do with it and can do nothing to stop it.

However, do you think we can predict what the effects of rising temperatures will be?

We are already seeing some of those effects - more extreme weather events, for instance. Changing ocean currents, changing air circulation patterns, and rising sea levels. Arctic ice shrinking, greater iceberg calving in the Northern and Southern polar regions. Greater desertification in arid regions. Crop failures, food shortages, and invasion of species moving from Southern to Northern realms. (The northward spread of malarial mosquitoes into the continental US is a good example.)

Man cannot effect it, perhaps, but he CAN plan to deal with its effects. It would irresponsible of us not to.

It is neither a Right or Left issue to face that the Earth is warming and that it will change lifestyles *dramatically* by our grandchildrens’ adulthood. What do you think Americans should do to deal with the effect of the Earth’s rising temperature?
