Re:Global Warming! (Score 1)

Everything that happens on the Planet will have a major effect on us and our children. Every volcano forces some change to the climate. The question is that since millions of acres of trees burn naturally each year, should I stop burning candles thinking I can stop "Global Warming"? Should I try to force you to stop burning candles? Should we outlaw forest fires? We now know just what happens when we try to prevent all forest fires in a given area; the brush builds up until there is a massive fire. All our effots (in the example at least) are in vain, and are actually damaging to the forest which needs controlled burns to be healthy. We make matters WORSE trying to mess with a system we do not understand. In my opinion the REAL problem is that a small group of people want to make a lot of noise so everyone else will think that these few people are the only ones who have it right. This is yet another example of all of hte worst of Human history; a few thinking they are the only one's with insight and brutally attacking anyone who disagrees. To demonstrate how weak their position is, they rely on really, really bad science. Are we simply repeating the forest fire prevention problem? Could it be that Humans have virtually no effect on the climate? We simply don't know. The final debate is not about facts and how they effect us, but about feelings and how a few people try to use them to control us. In the end, like most policy "debates" this one is most likely about 'power' not climate.
