The Scottish gamekeepers argue for harvestable surplus of red grouse for
hunters to shoot, which is biologically feasible, but often ecologically
harmful (the manipulations of vegetation to create the grouse surplus often
results in poor quality habitat for other native fauna and avifauna, such
Hon. Forum:
It seems there are only two choices--trust that the earth's climatic
fluctuations will stabilize between limits that retain a favorable
habitat for humans or act to reduce atmospheric pollution, including
CO2, according to the precautionary principle.
But how to make those choices?
This is really drawing straws. I can easily say, "all else being equal =
the temperature of a planet is not primarily dependent upon its distance =
from its star or the composition of its atmosphere but rather the size =
of the star around which it revolves, or even the stage of the star!" =

I think there are a few issues with the approach
- that there might just be another cooler period coming along.
That might be true, if nothing had changed since then.
But as Macolm says we are 30+ years on and that means:

Dear Paul,
I appreciate your optimism, but I fear it is misplaced. No where in our past
records of atmospheric chemistry do we have an atmosphere like we have now.
The concentrations of CH4, CO2, NOx and CFC are higher than ever found before,
indeed CFCs have never been in the atmosphere previ
Of course a period of cooling from an increase in aerosols is
possible; the IPCC site discusses this in some detail, and there was
at least one Science or Nature paper on a very relevant case study.
