Journal RailGunner's Journal: The Climate Change Myth is starting to unravel... 5
I don't agree with the hyperbole, but it's the biggest Science Scandal of the last 30 years or so.
Someday, my children will mock the Climate Change Chicken Littles much the same way I mock the "Today is just a space between ice ages" Global Cooling morons of the 1970s.
Even then, the arguments were largely the same.
"Even if we're wrong, it's too big to risk. Shouldn't we do SOMETHING? After all, IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN."
... and the "solution" then is the same as it is now -- more State control of individual lives.

So is nuclear fusion... Don't get too close. Pollution does not respect property lines. If you could contain it on your property, of course I would say go nuts. So, regardless of the global thing, please show enough respect and at least move downwind/stream. Camper's creed: Leave no trace. There are many less offensive ways of moving about.
And another thing you should be aware of is that this climate change business is just another player in the capitalism g

As a Catholic, I believe we should be good stewards of God's creation.
As a pragmatist, I believe we should take good care of the only biosphere we have (so far).

H2O isn't pollution, either. But an excess of it can lead to problems.
