[QUOTE="traveler, post: 264403, member: 1954"] I carefully read the article in your first post and I do agree that the idea that man is creating rapid climate change is, at best, silly and at worst, a way to gin up votes and/or scare people. While in Alaska a few years back we visited a glacier that was receding. There was a blurb printed near the viewing window which showed how much further the glacier would recede in the coming years if the present rate continued. The people on the tour were appalled at the thought of the glacier receding further (loosing the wonderful view) and many expressed that they felt terrible about the prospects. I challenged the thoughts by posing a simple question... how would you feel if the situation were reversed and the glacier was [B][U]advancing[/U][/B] (global cooling?) and the projection was that the observation point would be wiped out in the coming years. Should all glaciers remain static? Should they advance/recede and how far? Well, no-one could think of anything to say! Simply put, the climate has, through history, and will in the future continue to change. Agreed, we should work to keep the air and waters clear and clean but not using the current scare tactics.
