Muzosi, > the question is whether this change is happening to a great extent because of human activity & whether we can do anything to lessen its results. a) Of course it's happening due to human activity. Six billion people on this planet is bound to have an impact. b) No, there isn't anything we can do to lessen its results. So the greenhouse effect adjusts to a new equilibrium. We'll just have to adapt. The human race has survived tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, and even plagues. I think we can survive a rise in temperature of a few degrees Celcius. Tenchusatsu

muzo, the question is whether this change is happening to a great extent because of human activity & whether we can do anything to lessen its results. There were number of species in the long history of the Earth that have caused wild swings in temperatures. There is a theory of Earth as a gigantic snowball, through with Earth may have gone 2 times. And the species that caused those swings were much less worthwhile than humans. I am all for lessening the impact of human activity on the environment with minimum impact on the global economy, my pocketbook and my convenience. I want "good enough", which, I guess makes me a sinner in the circles of environmental religion... Joe
