>> My birth wasn't any big deal, but the future of the planet earth IS, so don't you think it might be advisable to lean to the more cautious side on this particular issue?

I have no problem with further research. I do have a problem with the economic downside of spending a lot of money on a problem that we don't know exists and that we don't know that we can materially affect.

And I have a REAL problem with the injection of politics into the scientific process, which is what the GW community has done. And the fact that Mann refuses to debate the issue is, IMO, a pretty strong sign that he recognizes his position is weak.

The plan at that time was to use small atomic bombs to destroy the Japanese defenses so that my father and the rest of the U.S. troops could storm the beaches with limited resistance.

I doubt it. We only had a very few atomic bombs. And we didn't have "small bombs". The yield was small compared to many deployed today, but there wasn't a separate category of small bombs and all of them were physically large.

I don't doubt that someone floated the idea, maybe even someone senior in some senior military or civilian government position, but it could never have been a very concrete plan.

so don't you think it might be advisable to lean to the more cautious side on this particular issue?

The global warming alarmist view isn't a cautious one. They propose making major and extremely expensive changes (and that's putting things mildly).
