Climate catastrophe isn't so certain

We're a messy species and we've done a wonderful job of turning our habitable planet into a disgusting toxic shit-hole.

Totally agree there Welsh. We have recently had our "Carbon Tax" morph into "Emissions Tax" which morphed into "Green Incentive Scheme" like WTF?? It is starting to sound more and more like a $$ grab and less like "we are REALLY trying to clean up our mess"

Unless of course you are referring to the potential warming as staving off an Ice age?

No it is not in doubt. AGW is real, and is acknowledged as such by the vast majority of climate scientists and many others, including myself, a geologist. The question is not is AGW valid; it is. The question is what can be done do reduce manmade GHG emissions to mitigate further human induced warming.

What like reducing water vapour?? Which seems to be the primary culprit of GHG. nah CO2 is just a copout. NOT that we should continue to pollute as we have!!

I agree, Oro. Of course, I make the same point every year when Oklahoma gets flattened by tornadoes.

Agreed Min...why do people do it? Why have they not designed better housing to accommodated the Yearly Tornadoes?? Just as stupid are those who lose everything in the Bushfires and stand there in-front of the TV camera stating "oh we are going to rebuild just like it was" WTF??
