Hi koan; This link still misses the point. You're confusing "global warming" with "catastrophe". Yes, maybe 97% of scientists agree with global warming. No, 97% of scientists do *not* agree with the idea that it's a catastrophe.

Come on, there are some articles out there that predict some increases in costs. But so far, with temperatures rising as much as they have already, food production keeps climbing. And the studies that assume drastic reductions tend to have various defects. For example, they assume that over the next 80 years, farmers in a particular region, are going to keep trying to grow the same crops, LOL. As if the farmers didn't notice that barley was giving better yields than corn and so would switch.

What's more, you're barking up the wrong tree. The place where CO2 growth is going on is *not* the industrialized west. China now leads us in CO2 production and they're ramping up rapidly. You should be annoying them, not us.
