So, it seems that some people think that sea-level and temperature rising is not that bad? It's the economy we should worry about?
Life without SUV's and 50" plasma TV's isn't worth living.
If the sea-level would by some miracle (not because of the pollution, ofcourse, why would it have anything to do with this purely random event) happen to rise. So what? The tundras would be now fertile and habitable.
Well, I just wonder, what might THAT do to the economy, if we had to rebuild our coastal cities and agriculture few hundred mails to the north. Wonder if the priorities would be building more SUV's (which actually might come handy then) and plasma-screens or trying to evacuate the people and rebuilding cities.
While the doomsayers might be wrong, I doubt it would hurt us to be more safe than sorry. Pollution, even if it didn't cause this global warming, hardly does any good? And I even think that life might be worth living without all these lovely toys we have. And we can't never build enough toys for everyone. And spending resources to get more toys, will take those resources from somebody else.
