Interesting discussion going on over supposed global warming issues, at Q&O. My response to one of the commenters will give you a taste:

The problem arises when trying to make the same argument for the current warming – the reason the climatologists get excited about the current warming is the simple fact that the initial parameters are so different than before.
So in other words, we are being asked to make all these changes to our lifestyle, throw a monkey wrench into our economy and so on, all because a group of scientists doesn’t understand something? We’re being asked to respond in panicked tones and hushed, alarming words and predictions, because they don’t KNOW?
(Alarm bells going off)
And, as Neo points out, what of the cure? Has the science been worked out so that we understand what we’re subjecting ourselves to by way of the cure? It seems unlikely, since they haven’t even nailed down all the variables for the cause, as yet.
And this, we’re told, is unarguable science ?
Finally, the political causes for this argument cannot be overlooked. Interesting for example that the vast majority of those who sign on to the ‘man made global warming” argument are mostly those who have been seeking and working toward a way to limit the power and influence of the west for decades, now, while ignoring the pollution coming from places like China… who won’t sign on meaningfully to any treaty involving CO2 in any event, and who just yesterday was being reported as the leading CO2 producer in the world.while I believe that there are many who honestly hold such views, without political purpose, that can be said for any political movement. Mona Charen has an appropriate title to confer on such people.
And Neo speaks correctly yet again, when addressing the cure of just stepping back and letting things take their course. Clearly, the situation is destined to sort itself out, anyway… with or without the ‘help’ of leftist pols…. And he has it right, here, when he suggests that the goal is to have the enviro-wacko creed written into the culture… something that they simply cannot do, if the situation takes care of itself.
Forgive me if I’m unimpressed with the guesswork… sorry… “science”…. supposedly detecting the problem, much less the solutions being demanded. In short, we stand about as much chance of controlling our global environment, as I have of directing all Internet web traffic to my website, by use of my museum piece IBM XT computer.
And given the politics, I won’t even mention the honesty of the lot raising these arguments.-0-
