RE: Global warming. The Y2K spending effort is small potatoes compared with the massive regulatory and spending effort building around global warming. Bigger and more powerful task forces are at work on plans to cool the planet. Most of this scare is also a computer game, one based on less scientific fact than the original Y2K problem. At least Y2K was a genuine computer repair job. Global warming is a hypothetical scare, based on a theory that has been fed into computer models that purport to predict climate conditions over the next 50 to 100 years. With no deadline in sight, the global warming scare is capable of inflicting real damage. There's a lesson in Y2K. We can apply the experience to global warming, genetically modified food and some of the other menaces now populating David Suzuki's nightmares. There's still time to see reason before we create a truly ruinous climate of fear. From National Post, January 4: "The Y2K bug: We're working on it" nationalpost.com
