Let me see. In the seventies we were all going to freeze to death. I'm old enough to remember that one.

Yes, I recall discussing it under the moon map poster in the lab. Since we're due for glacial advance sometime, it wouldn't be surprising. Of course, that means that even a steady temperature would be breaking the natural trend.

Of course, climate variation occurs on many scales, both timescales and amplitudes.

The solution always comes from some government slug who's motives I always question.

Your solution, maybe...not mine.

Do you think that the improvements made by man are going to melt the ice in Greenland?

No. I think that it's possible the natural climate variation enhanced by man's activity might do it sometime soon ("soon" could be thousands of years). But it might not. Those who claim to know one way or the other are being too sure.

If you do then you sir are an idiot. Or at least niave.

~p
~q, either, even if it doesn't follow syllogistically.

The supposed solution is what I meant and I'm quite sure you already knew that. Why on earth would we allow drastic changes to our lifestyle, financial stability and liberty to a theory that is definitely in question?

If I were you the only concern I would have is losing liberty on a false premise. The earth has warmed and cooled many times before "The Industrial Revoloution". It happened when man wasn't even in the picture.
