I join with Peter in welcoming you to DPF.
With regards to the current "dilemma" around this issue I see it as two separate facts.
Yes there have been warming periods and there have been ice ages. We are unaware of the casue of these events but
it is doubtful that mankind caused these shifts.
On the other hand the fact is that mankind has committed every violation imaginable against mother earth.
Burning fuel that is hazardous to all- look at China where no one can even breathe-to all the medicines thrown into the water,
the filthy landfills, poisonous rivers. On and on...Just what BP alone did will continue to take an enormous toll.
Anyone who thinks that the unrelenting enviornmental damage could not adversely affect temperture, melt Polar ice caps,
probably also believes that industry should not be regulated, that it will "right itself".
The science is there on this. I have a good friend who is a scientist at NOAH and I do not believe that the science is being faked.
Rush Ditto head will tell you this, but when has he ever let the facts goveren his opinion?.
Something is happening to this planet and it is not good. I prefer the term "climante change". Any system will break down, react unpredictably after enough damage.
Human damage. And we are there.
