re: Global warming question for both sides....

Greenland...was named 'Green Land'...for a reason, GO. Now what caused warmer temps back then, or whether man's effect re GH gases now...has less to do with Science than it does (Authoritarian Socialist) Politics.

Back in the Hippie Days, when I was in the groove ...it was the Commies that were pushing the Global Cooling meme. Same now.

And even if it's man's oil-based technology that is raising GH gases...we are going to need a vibrant economy to make the next technological leap to a more 'Green'-based civilization.

Of course, populations are key. We'll likely get a major die off from war, viral plague or the fast-rising impotence of anti-biotics. GW will be a moot issue.

Now if one wants to talk respect, and reverence for 'mother earth'...or the Principle of Beauty as such affects societal health of our species...that's a whole nother animal. And probably far more productive that the scaremonger/sky is falling meme of the Authoritarian Left.
