The lack of response makes me wonder if others can see it, but I cannot say definitively it was censored. It was pointed out to me as well that I did add the category “if it is happening, and if man is causing it, is fixing it still cheaper than riding out the effects?” This is far from clear. There have been periods when we had no polar ice caps and life THRIVED, and of course no one is even remotely suggesting this will happen again.
Intelligent people–which excludes most journalists and academics–will ask three sorts of questions:
1) Is the Earth warming? If we are making that claim, what metrics are
we using, and how does this warming fit within broad climate contexts?
Based on the past record of these people–and there is clearly a
type–they are cherry picking data that excludes actual measurements of
temperatures on both poles.
2) Is anthropogenic CO2–as opposed of course to the CO2 the dinosaurs breathed–a principle cause?
3) Will cutting down on emissions NOW do anything?
I have studied this topic extensively–MUCH more extensively than the
many silly people who unknowingly do nothing but repeat talking
points–and it seems clear to me that even if we DID cause an increase
in temperature, virtually nothing we do now will make a bit of
difference, since the relative role of CO2 diminishes as its
concentration increases. Each doubling causes half the effect.
