We will know for sure in 1000 years. just wait. I am betting on a maybe, with complications. I am putting up a half a bottle of beer. Foreign beer. It has CO2 in it. I know that is cheating, but it is good beer. Don't know about 1000 years from now. I figure by that time we will have had 50 3 mile islands and 10 Chernobyls and people who do drink the beer will be doing it with four lips. EC<:-}

- This is the thesis Claude: How far is the cliff? I don't know. Nobody knows. - ... if we keep loading up the atmosphere with greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide and methane that the temperature will rise. Yes we know that it will worsen the situation. No doubt. And we are alerted. - is it not logical to err on the side of caution? clearly yes. And that is why scientists must continue to study, researchers must continue to research, invent and develop. That is where the money should be spent. Eventually we will end up with a better control on our activities. And with the help of mother nature, mankind will survive.

On the geological time scale, we are now at the end of the last glaciation. Yeah, we are still in an Ice Age. So, weather will change radically during the next milleniums. And temperature will climb, climb, climb until the next event that will stop that trend (probably a large volcanic eruption or a meteorite.) This is not the first time that weather changes. In the past, some of these fluctuations were small and had short term effects, but other were catastrophic like those mass extinction at the end of the cambrian, ordovician, devonian, permian, triassic, cretaceous eras where, each time, 70 to 90% of all living creatures died. So when will occur the next mass extinction? We don't know and reaseach may help to find out. But IT WILL OCCUR, don't worry! JP
