<<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.>>

I am fine with gaining that much admission from you. If the right wing can at least admit there is anthropogenic global warming, but then make there stand that it doesn't matter. That is a start-lol. I am more comfortable debating the issue from that point.

I will predict, and you can watch, that the corporations that will lead the fight for recognition of the harm global warming is doing will be the insurance companies that will ask for government aid to keep up with the damages they won't be able to pay e.g. the first time a 235 MPH hurricane 100 miles across lands on the US, insurance companies will not be able to pay, and they know it.

Or the flooding problems like what is going on in Norfolk Virginia right now.

<<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.>>

I never said only we should address it. Of course Asia is this biggest threat long term, but that is true of overpopulation as well. But if they go down, we all go down.

We are all citizens of planet earth and we are all in this together.
