First, ya gotta stop making it worse, which means getting away from carbon, and getting our energy from sun, wind, tides, geothermal, etc.

Isn't another alternative is to embrace change and accept that the Earth may be a few degrees warmer.

It's not like the end of the world or anything. It has happened before. It better than the alternative of another Ice age, wouldn't you agree?

As far as I'm concerned the only severe downside if GW actually occurs would come when/if the Antarctic Ice all melts and sea-levels rise 30 feet. And I don't even believe that that is being forecast as even likely to occur in the next 500 years.

Might be time for solar powered freezing units on the summer arctic ice pack to keep things cool. Seems like a potential growth industry.


That is a really good one. BTW - last I checked we have record poverty numbers and a decaying infrastructure. The concept of solar freezing units in the arctic simply shows how out of touch those who think we can do something about AGW are.
