why are we discussing global warming. Now scientist have announced that we are going to enter a mini ice-age.
the point is - we do know *"!#. Scientists say one thing one day, put a new variable into the equation and come up with something else. As for using statistics, in almost all circumstances they can be used to argue either side (i.e. to quote "lies, lies and damned statistics).
So many things about this world and how it reacts that we dont know so to say we are doing something and then try to change it without knowing any of the effects is pure lunacy.
for example. If we make all these cut backs to our carbon footprint and the world becomes carbon neutral then we find out that, oops, this was wrong an ice age was coming and we have exacerbated the process by reduce the carbon being released.
imo i would prefer it to be a couple of degrees hotter i/o living in a friging ice age. Just dont buy a house on the coast.
