Of course! So, he didn't really raise any good points except to say that we don't have enough facts to say that there's human caused global warming - which we already knew. So I find it enormously ironic that his opening line is, "Global Warming, as we think we know it, doesn't exist." If you accept all of his argument, then he has no basis to make that claim! Too funny. Anyway here's what we know: 1.) The Earth is warming and has been for decades. 2.) Green house gases exist and humans make dispense a lot of them. 3.) If the Earth warms numerous degrees it'll be bad; if it keeps warming we'll all die. So, the question is, knowing that we'll not understand climatic systems well enough to determine if human caused global warming is happening, when and how do we act? There's 3 basic camps: 1.) Do nothing until you know for a fact. 2.) Continue to monitor until you have a preponderance of evidence. 3.) Act now since the risk of inaction is so high. I'm in the 3rd camp and would claim that it can be done with minimal impact to the economy - disruption, yes - but little practical impact. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:227021 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
