Like insurance companies? Isn't this exactly what THEY do? Take somebody like your wife: is she a crazy driver? Then why insure her for inflicting injury on others via car insurance? Because you've decided that there's a RISK that she may harm someone to the tune of $1M due to unforeseen circumstances and you don't want the injured taking your assets. Well, there's a RISK that Global Warming exists and will take our assets. And there's only one way to insure against the risk: do what we can to decrease the known and forecasted causes. Period. BTW - the absolute dumbest argument is the "it's just a cycle" argument. So when you spill hot coffee on your lap and plow into a pedestrian try telling his lawyer that the pedestrians injuries were simply caused by a natural cycle. I doubt it'll save your assets, but it's worth a try. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:244903 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
