Originally posted by sh76I wonder if you took a poll of practicing, licensed attorneys who passed the bar and finished law school (redundant, maybe, but to be clear that we're talking about full-fledged attorneys),
By alarmist, I meant that he's alarmed by the problem, not necessarily that he's overstating it.
I don't know whether he's overstating it or not; I'm not a scientist. My point is that claiming to believe everything the IPCC says then then blandly supporting ineffective half-assed measured is internally inconsistent.
how many would know the meaning of the world alarmist?
how many would fall for global warming alarmism?
😀
ok, all in good fun.
seriously, I've yet to see convincing arguments that there is an unnatural, man-made climate change going on.
If we trend that way a few degrees a decade, we'll know we should focus our energies there before we're in a full-scale catastrophe.
We're not there, we go from global-cooling frenzies to global-warming frenzies, and back again... hence the phrase climate change.
When the next ice age hits, should we blame ourselves that time?
When did polar ice caps melting from their peaks to now become something that had to completely stop lest it become our fault?
