Some politicians decided that they wanted a vacation in Australia and New
Zealand. If they just wanted to see melting ice, I am sure there was an
ice machine and a warm room handy. Why should this worry us?

forces of nature, so why would anyone in their right mind buy into
Ian said:It's actually not.
The numbers on amount of plastic reflective film you need on orbit to
act as a sunshade is not very huge.
Nor is the amount of rockets that'd be needed to launch it.
It's a big number - but cheaper than many wars.
the
industrialized nations face imminent catastrophic collapse of their
civil infrastructure.
I heard some guy on edjamacaitional teevee say that we've already passed
the point of no return. The "global warming", the melting of the ice caps,
the increase of sea level depth by 5 or 10 meters or whatever, is
inevitable, no matter _what_ humans do. Even if all human activity was
stopped, and we all died and didn't need to decompose, it wouldn't change
the fact that the ice caps are melting regardless.
John said:Oh please. What's this, The End of Times, The Rapture, The Apocalypse?
Or, more sectarian, The Sky Is Falling? From sea level rising a few
cm? Riots in the streets from the weather changing around some, as bad
as, maybe, it always did?
How do we know that global warming (oops, excuse me, "climate change")
isn't a good thing overall?
I'd go on, but this is really too silly to parody. Back to installing
light fixtures. CF's, of course, so as to be kind to Mother Earth.
You are going to die a painful death as a result of it- assuming the
marauding bands of food scavengers do not get you first. The "babes" on
the beach will be floating corpses- probably covered with buboes.

John Larkin said:Wow, now you've got me really, really scared. I can stop worrying
about bird flu and balding and AOE/3 now.

Like this 63% one -)-)-)Ken said:63% of all statistics are just made up on the spot to support an argument.

Ken Smith said:Oh come on now John! You know AOE-3 will have a cure for all three
problems, most likely involving the clever use of LM555s.
Gosh, our new building (42 feet above sea level) will soon be beachfront
property! I'll see babes in bikinis from my office!
John
Obviously! The *proper* statistic is 92%!
Which just goes to show, 76% of all people making that statement get the
number wrong... ;o)
