Tim, nature doesn't work like a Hollywood scifi thriller. By the time the evidence is overwhelming, it may well be too late.

Lots of things may be or could be. We could naturally be entereing in to an ice age and we might need to double CO2 production to keep things from freezing.

Unless the evidence is really solid, people shouldn't and probably wont be willing to have their economies and life styles severly disrupted.

In case global warming does turn out to be a problem I think a lot more research money should be spent on alternate ways of dealing with the problem. There are ways mans activities can cool the planet as well as warm and its quite possible that we could spend a lot less money on cooling activites to counteract warming then it would take to prevent the CO2 emissions.

Ted, <nature doesn't work like a Hollywood scifi thriller. By the time the evidence is overwhelming, it may well be too late.>

Personally, I think you've been watching Waterworld one too many times. <G>

If anything, global warming is going to cause gradual changes to the environment. This is no cause for alarm, for the entire planet is undergoing change even without human intervention. The environment will adapt, as will we.
