    actually the topic here should be the speed of the changes

    its the rapid part of Rapid Global Climate Shift that is the worry

    a sudden change precluding the ability of species to adapt including ourselves

    for instance
    the 100 year long steady and rapid increase in co2 caused by human activities
    this greenhouse gas is most likely to be the cause of the warming trend of the last 30 or 40 years
    I posted a short while ago where someone had calculated the odds of the two being coincidence at 1 in a billion

    the waste of time is in trying to explain that simple reality to some few who's wallets benefit from the status quo

    confidence of 90%
    consensus of 97+%
    odds of 1,000,000,000/1 of the link between co2 and temp being a coincidence

    seems like the phrase most likely to be true is somewhat of an understatement

    proof
    no
    overwhelming evidence
    yes

    now what was it again I was supposed to disprove

    This is a perfect example of lynch mob mentality.

    I think there might be a few other folks who might think of your response as a perfect example of denying the obvious

    Lessee here. Hmmm....

    Noun 1. lynch mob - a mob that kills a person for some presumed offense without legal authority
    mob, rabble, rout - a disorderly crowd of people


    Nope. Don't quite see the connection.:confused:

    That pretty well defines the AGW believers. You want to steal our freedoms and make our lives unliveable.

    Everybody, here and overseas,listen. AGW is another socialist attempt to silence the voice of freedom or drown it out on forums such as this. They will steal your prosperity and reduce you to subsistence. They will take away your freedom and throw you into slavery. When they become strong enough, they will take your very life as a part of the ZPG movement. They have already talked about there being too many humans. There is only one way to reduce those numbers. These are not benign environmentalists. ELF is just one exposure where the bandage has peeled off one corner of this festering wound on humanity. Beware!

    That is completely irrational hysteria. You aren't even making sense, when you start accusing people who believe AGW is real of wanting to murder humanity.

    And frankly, I don't think you even know what a socialist is. Western Europe and Scandinavia have been mostly socialist for quite a while now, and none of this dire BS you accuse socialists of has come to pass yet.

    Well spoken, except that the GW hysteria was created in capitalist countries, by people working in capitalist institutions.

    How is that a socialist conspiracy?

    Or, are you finally admitting the obvious: the capitalism has imploded, painted itself with its own highly processed food and disintegrated into a fertile ground for finally turning into a civilised and FREE society.

    That being the socialism. (do some reading companero. socialism is all for freedom, unlike capitalism with its' corporate, political and brainwashing slavery)

    Not hysteria. The blood ran cold in my veins whilst inscribing those remarks. I believe them as I believe the sun rises in the east. GW movement did not start in a capitalist country, however. Speaking of wingnuts, you best batten down your own hatches before worrying about others taking on water, me hardy.

    And I believe you. You don't know what a socialist is. Check your union, or any union, and you would find a few if you did. You may be a socialist without even realizing it.

    Notice the operative word there is yet.

    Yes; hysteria. To keep screaming that socialism is coming makes about as much sense as closing the barn door after the horses are out. The reality is that this country's political and social system is already a blend of capitalism and socialism--and has been for a long, long time.

    Although if I remember right, you're one of those who believe a Nazi and a socialist are the same thing. It's impossible to argue with that sort of blind, willful ignorance.

    Nevertheless, you need to calm down a little. AGW is not a conspiracy to murder millions of people and enslave the rest. If that's what someone had in mind, there are certainly simpler and more reliable methods of accomplishing it.
