Ummmm . . Fiz,

Actually I like it when folks post their opinions. It opens up for discussion and presentation of evidence.

Fiz > Even if global warming is both real, and dangerous, there is nothing much we can do about it now,

Another problem I have with our 'leaders' . . .

barak obama was the guy in the right place at the right time to exhibit true leadership, take care of one of our problems, and 'reduce America's carbon emissions'.

What obozo should have done, was open Yucca Mountain and have all those spent fuel rods from all over the country moved into Yucca Mountain. (Solving one problem.) Then, instead of making 'liar loans' to so-called 'green energy companies' he SHOULD have made low interest loans to very large power companies that could and would pay the money back to build new nuclear power plants.

As the new nuclear plants went online shut down the coal fired power plants. Dramatically reducing America's carbon emissions while maintaining our economy. Instead, obozo paid off his campaign contributors with OUR money.

Zim.

Sorry, De. My apologies. It certainly wasn't intentional.

For me, the interview was very interesting because of the approach Lomborg took; he took middle of the road, based on common sense, which ought to bridge the gap between Dems and Repubs. I thought you might find that interesting.

I confess I thought you felt climate change probably isn't real. Personally, I feel the scientific evidence isn't compelling—because it is so corrupted/biased. I might have confused you with myself! ;-/

My thinking is:
(1) The science is hopelessly contaminated by government /influencers
(2) burning a billion years worth of fossil fuels in 150 years OUGHT to change the climate
(3) At the end of the day, “Climate change”, real or not, isn't - and shouldn't be – anywhere near the top of our present moment dangers.
(4) Even if global warming is both real, and dangerous, there isn nothing much we can do about it now, beyond beginning to prepare for it. Instead of probably wasting trillions to “fight” it, with high-tech and doubtful usage restrictions, we should deal with more vital, more economic issues.

Anyway, sorry for mistaking your position and, especially, for coming across impolitely. The first was ignorance. The second was ignorance +bad communication.
