oh. my. god.
i'vs stated aboot 20 times in these global warming threads that I AM IN SUPPORT OF LOWERING OUR EMISSIONS TO NON-HARMFUL LEVELS THAT WILL NOT HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE NATURAL CLIMATE RHYTHMS OF THE PLANET BECAUSE THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT WE ARE HAVING SOME EFFECT.
that being said, the hysteria involved is so out of control and is so spun in the media, what i fear is that drastic changes will be made that will have disastrous consequences for people on earth, just be careful who we will be trusting to solve all these problems, and exactly why this is so important RIGHT NOW.

I guess it depends on how you view and frame the issue. If you believe that extremely hard to reverse damage has and is happening then you have to take drastic steps as soon as you can. If you decide that species extinction, land development, etc are important issues then you take drastic steps as soon as you can.
What I don't get is those that are much more worried about the economic effects of reacting then they are about the actual earth and the viability in the future of not only our race but other species as well. The economic hardships that potentially may be caused by turning to a more sustainable living pattern are not going to be more disastrous then real climate change will be. We're talking about the future of life on earth and human life on earth.
