Well, I tend to agree with you, except that you probably gave politicians too much credit...  Wink

You know what annoys me the most? Those commercials that say "Let's make the world a better place for our children". Fucking hypocrites. If you want to make the world a better place... Don't have them!

99% percent of earth's politicians are morons, and 100% the general population are morons and don't care.

While I don't really feel strongly enough about this to debate global warming, I am curious as to wether you're calling yourself a moron or if you're not part of the general population. Is there a non-general part somewhere that one can join? Smiley

Jokes aside, I'd be careful with the disdain for the common man. That kind of thinking can lead you astray pretty quickly. Before you know it, you're cursing the sheeple.

Apparently criticism is not allowed during pressconferences during the Copenhagen conference.

Note that the actual guy in charge DID let the questions continue. It was underlings who were trying to cut him off.

So we had record snowfall a few days back. I thought "The climate change deniers are going to be all over this one..." but if any said anything, they're quiet now - all the snow's gone and it's sweater weather.

I'm not sure if it's really interesting or even good, because I stopped listening, couldn't stand the finnish narrator's voice. But perhaps it's of interest to you guys Smiley.

This is true. And if humanity manages to keep growing without wrecking the planet, it'll only be because life is made more and more miserable as we get crammed into smaller dwellings and pay a fortune for energy efficiency. In a morbid way, I think it's interesting that the cost of living (measured in hours of work) could be forced back up by all this.

Ah, I'm not touching that, conclusions drawn from observations with negligible statistical weight can be bad for your health!

As I'm sure Dabir knows, it's unfortunate that both sides fallaciously point at short-term events like this. Skeptics do it because they have little else, and greenies do it because the general public loses interest unless you have something tangible to show them.

In Australia, 2009 was our second warmest year on record (and it did actually feel that way), and the ten years just ended was the warmest decade. Over the past 70 years, each decade was warmer than the one that went before. These are the figures for an entire continent for most of a century, and they only point one way.

Valid points, but you're overlooking one important thing: Food.
There's room enough for all of us to live on this planet, but not enough room to feed us all. After we pass the border of 9 to 12 billion people * there won't be enough food to feed us all. Can you imagine it? hundreds of thousands of people in the USA or Europe, starving for food? Can you imagine wars being fought over it? This is what will happen if population is not controlled from now on.

* depending on where population is increased, concerning food consumption Americans are using up way more hectares per person than for example, people from India).

Here's an idea - giant floating cattle ranches out at sea

That'll solve the food problem
