yes and the issue is goober a million years ago the very same thing had happened and so friggin what? but because it NOW and the temp. has gone up what, a 1/4 a degree, we should start packing for the moon......
You know seriously, everyone needs to sand back for a minute, imagine if you will, looking a the timeline on the floor in a large building or out doors where you have enough space and clear your head, totally outside yourself, at least try and drop pre conceived judgments, and start at say 1950's and there after as on a number line add in all the forecasted environmental/ecological scares/events that took place and where all supposed, at the time, to be the real deal......
Its staggering AND informative, the take away from this is I believe is- there is NO consensus, nor has there ever been nor shall there be when it comes to making predictions on a scale as huge as this as every 25-30 years the event(s) being prognosticated in fact changes....in 20 years, we will look back at this and there will be another marker on the line that says the “ gore GW binge”...the only question left is what then will be the flavor of the decade and how badly will we have damaged ourselves following the unproven and emotionally suspect advent of the latest fad. ?
