Climate Change is just one of those fears the other major fear is Terrorism. The chances of anyone being involved in a incident of terrorism is so remote you can't quantify it just as you can't with flying. The two biggest polluters are India and China yet it's the West that needs more stringent controls and nary a word about the others.
Also as had been pointed out it's a fact that the world millions of years ago had a warmer climate when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. The CO2 level was at least 15 Times what it is now. The question I have is what caused this and how did it dissipate to the level we have now?
We cannot control the climate and never will, there are just too many variables outside human control most especially Sun Spot Activity.
So Mr. De Caprio go back and do some more research.
LOL! I’m sure Dr. de crapio will get right on that. I believe I have read all Crichtons books. The only one that kinda threw me was “The Great Train Robbery”. Mainly due to the dialogue in the story. Other than that, I liked all of them. Some were a little too close to things that are going on or one can envision without too much problem.
