Re: RE: Kyoto
One winter my friend was of the strong opinion that jumping on a thin stretch of ice was safe. He broke through and fell in - almost froze to death. Nature proved him wrong (he even admits begrudgingly that he was, perhaps, not entirely correct : )).
Point of order, the science that says chocolate will give you colon cancer is not the same science as the science which shows us that the planet's climate is changing (esp. temperature increases) because of human activity. Health studies like that are based largely on epidemiology (some good, some bad, but few studies are actually replicated!), climate change is based on a whole host of other disciplines (e.g., physics, chemistry), many many studies, and 90% of that science points in the same direction - anthropogenically-caused GCC is happening!
How do we slow it down? is the question now. Most of the politicians now concede it is happening and have moved on to this question.
jakewabbo said:Kyoto, in my opinion, and that is just that.. my opinion, is based upon junk science... the same science that tells us one week, chocolate will save your colon one week, and will give you eye cancer the next. No I do not have proof, research or other.... because I said it was an opinion... Some people don't beleive in Evolution (while there is science that backs it up) I choose not to beleive that a 1 ton challange will do anything. With countries like China, and the US not taking part, what is the use?
