- Risk management: "Even if it somehow could be determined that it is a coin flip -- 50/50 -- that 97% of climate scientists are (essentially) correct re climate change (link), don't present-day inhabitants (still) have the (moral) obligation to effectively address as much of the issue as is safely possible?
I.e.: Too great of a risk to future generations to ignore.. Or to paralyze with excessive deliberation." -- Anonymous



- "I'm not sure what the 'height of insanity' might be, but this seems a candidate: Modern, advanced societies ignoring - or deliberately distorting - principal findings of climate scientists -- who the same civilizations train and educate to become experts ..."

Oh yeah: Climate change is Al Gore's imagination...

More glaciers melt away in Glacier National Park (link to 4/7/10 AP news story)

I've been to Glacier myself a couple of times. The rangers we spoke to there believed "something was up" with climate change....

As Mr. Gore has said: It's going to soon need to be named "The Park Formerly Known as Glacier Nat'l Park"

Go see it.....QUICK.



Oh....BTW: Today is April 7th, and the current temperature is 90 degrees (F) where I live (New England)....(That's about 35 degrees above "normal" for the date. One year doesn't make a trend, but it's been well above normal for temps. here and everywhere (link) during the last several weeks... already.)
