The poles flipping, yes I have read that, far from being knowledgable, yet another factor in our environment that is beyond control as is warming/cooling cycles. Now that doesn't mean emisions and pollutants are not a hazard and they do like everything affects everything else that happens in this world. But the magnitude is different and when one puts economic equations to this, it becomes apparent that the money spent except on the worst conditions could be better spent in other areas such as education or immunization or reinvestment in communities rather than these socialist programs to re appropriate wealth under the guise of 'environmental concerns'. If the CO2 emissions are too high in Cleveland then it is too high in Calcutta or Peking.....period, not this crap about if we limit G7 or the west and not limit the east or asia and that will somehow cure the ill is ludicrous but the eco-religious chant this like holy-grail. end of rant. What that article does show that there is a real concern something of catastrophic proportions should be discussed and realized. Look what the tsunami did. once in how many hundred years it might occur but the demand is NOW be prepared and many more know, not necessarily can save all, but can provide a safety window to work in and some mechanism to put in place. Isn't that a better use of time, wisdom, agreement, money for all to get into the act.
