I believe the latest paradigm 'Fight Climate Change' is pretty clear. First of all it doesn't say anything about temperatures going up and down, fair enough. And next it only tells us to fight, sure, why not?? Staying home idle in front of the TV all time is now good for your health. Now the only problem I see with above: If climate doesn't change but just stays constant, what do we fight then??? Taro

>Does it make you feel better to be so condescending like this? When you show an utter lack of understanding of the difference between weather and science as well as of statistics, I don't think it's condescending to ask a question about whether or not you've studied basic science. >Maybe you can tell me how seven billion people are supposed to prevent accelerated climate change. Reduce our "carbon footprint"? It's a major start. >Please, we can't even predict how the "carbon footprint" even affects the climate. But we're so damn sure that it's doing "something" and it can't be good ... We can see its effects already... polar ice caps melting, displacement and destruction of species and ecosystems. We don't know all of it, but we sure do know some of it. -Z

Can you tell me how they are going to be good? This one really stumps me. Not the answer, but the question. How can it be bad to reduce harmful emissions? How can it be bad to seek more advanced solutions to human need than to burn fossils? Many new technologies have been described and even demonstrated to us that go a long way towards displacing the rather primitive energy solutions we rely on today. How can these things be bad for the earth and for humans? Al
