    all good points.

    and i would add, if X amount of humans die from global warming, then will more die from lack of economic growth caused by efforts to reduce greenhouse gas?

    economic problems, not climate problems, kill people.

    Whether LSU or Alabama is the better team is hotly debated in football forums. The dissent level is quite low among those who are fans of either team.

    This makes no sense at all. :insane:

    Funny, I've never done so. :huh:

    This happens all the time, Brainiac! Government policy-makers fund scientific studies on thousands of topics for which they receive a report. Thousands and thousands of them. They also publish research results in the technical literature, but the deliverable reports are written to be understood by policymakers.

    The IPCC report is only special in that it is an international report involving dozens of countries and hundreds of scientists.

    most scientific issues do not require any laws made based on them, dude. you are here lobbying for cap and trade (on rare occasions when you admit it). you are not lobbying for taxes for the study of neutrinos. nobody cares about neutrinos is politics. but polticians care alot about saving us from terrible warming.

    Totally wrong, do you ever bother to check before you pop off? Why do you think governments fund so much research? To make them smarter, that's why. They demand reports on this research and they get them. On topics ranging from environmental protections, to geology, to astrophysics, biology, and about a hundred defense-related subjects, intelligence, remote sensing, mapping, . . . an almost endless array of scientific topics that decision-makers want facts on before making decisions.

    You lie. I have address the theory of cap and trade for those who asked me, but I have not promoted a single law, tax, or regulation.

    I have not lobbied for taxes for AGW either. I've lobbied for the science of global warming. Having failed to challenge any of that, you are trying to change the subject. You fail.

    A sophomoric deduction based on no facts whatsoever.

    of course. you hate cap and trade and would never favor it because it doesnt work and isnt necessary. glad you finally came around.

    bro! the science is irrefutable. we as a species are in crisis. and you dont favor cap and trade, a proven market-based solution. a solution that could save the human species.
