I expect to be long gone from this earth by the time the water reaches my doorstep, unless we get a big hurricane. Then I will either be washed away or become a refugee.
As far as "sceintists" go, they are not my high priests and they tend to be as dogmatic and self-serving as any other group of self proclaimed enlightened ones. Man-made Global warming is another fad that has recently come under some serious question by many scientists. The new ice age was their holy grail in the 70s. Over population was supposed to have us all starving by 2000. That's the problem with getting old, I remember and even believed the scientist's grim predictions. Inquiry into the nature of things is certainly admirable and has been most productive, but scientist's predictions have not been terribly reliable.
Exactly. The scientist in the 70's were warning of global cooling and it never happened. And for every scientist that swears there is global warming (or that we are contributing to it), there is another to dispute it. Truth is that no one really knows and only time will tell as it has in the past. Some scientist today are saying that temperatures are coming down. A study just done by the EPA shows temps coming down as CO2 in the atmosphere is still going up. Who knows? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />
The really sad part is the companies and folks (Al Gore?) who want to shove the green crap down our throats so they can get rich off of it.
Humans are most likely posing several problems to the planet and it's available resources, but I'm not so sure what problems we are actually causing and to what extent. At this point, I'm not convinced anyone really knows.
I'm not ready to move to Kansas and start stockpiling yet anyhow. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
