You illustrate the kind of extremism and hyperbole that characterize the debate over Global Warming?
Submerge Bangladesh? Get REAL!!!! Even if Global Warming raises Ocean Level a few feet (Which is the worst case scenario.) it won't submerge Bangladesh. But even if it does, it's about time they relocate anyways. There're on borrowed time with their yearly occurence of flooding anyways. Worst Environmental Disaster? Get off your kool-aid. A rise is average temperature of a few degress will open up huge swaths of land in Temperate regions to year-round agriculture. Global food production will double and triple due to this. The balance favors more land recovered than land lost to flooding. OH!!!, I get it, you believe your own propaganda and think global temperatures will rise 20 degrees, right? OK ... Whatever!!!! TAX ALL CARBON PRODUCTION!!!!! Shut down all Carbon producing power plants!!!!! Let's tax breathing while we're at it. Humans produce a lot of Greenhouse gases by simply breathing. The argument that it is best to treat Global Warming as real is fallacious. Addressing this non-existent problem is not something that will cost us a little; on the contrary, it will cost us a lot. A lot more human suffering and deaths will increase food costs, less agricultural land available, less availability of living space. You see, I am not harping against Global Warming. I am harping at the religion of Environmentalism. This Pantheistic worship system that treats plants and animals and rocks and rivers and the environment to be more precious than human life and well-being. This is the undertone that I find repulsive in your baseless promotion of Global Warming.

Sarcasm? It is sometimes difficult to tell on the Internet. If you are serious, then I think you have no business accusing me of writing baloney. Global warming bad enough to submerge any European city will also submerge entire nations such as Bangladesh. The sea level is uniform worldwide. This will be the worst environmental disaster imaginable, short of a large meteorite. It would kill the largest number of people and other species in recorded history. It may "open up land" in Canada perhaps but it will destroy far more arable land than it opens. The impact you see this year on U.S. agriculture will be world-wide, leading to starvation on an unprecedented scale. If you do not believe global warming is real, that is -- at least -- a viable argument. But to argue that it is real, it will submerge cities, and it will "open up" some land while it destroys other land, yet it is nothing to worry about . . . that is crazy. That is irrational. Even the extreme right wing in the U.S. does not make that claim. The coal industry does, of course. Hence the "Greening Earth Society." What else can they say? - Jed
