George Will aside, with his history of 15th Century famine, there is more than adequate evidence of global warming.
More than 90% of scientists and climatologists agree.
The planet is getting warmer.
No matter how some chose to politicize science, there is overwhelming evidence that objective, determined activity by man can and will have a beneficial effect on the planet.
Man did not put thousands of tons of hydrocarbons into the atmosphere until the industrial revolution.
Burning fossil fuels has a direct effect on the planet.
Burning coal in China has an immediate effect on tens of millions of people. Shortening lives. Causing cancer. This is death directly attributable to human action.
George Will can't supply respirators and face masks to one hundred million Chinese.
We live on a planet. It is a closed biosystem.
If we crap on it enough without opening the window it is going to get fouled.
Madame Curie played with chemicals. She was a scientist.
George Will is what? A political satirist with an audience incapable of handling his vocabulary?
Rightest bullshit about there being no climatological effect on this planet through human activity is base, low level, ignorance.
The idea that since human life is relatively eternal in terms of our lifetimes, we can ignore without peril warning signals, may or might or could destroy the future for generations unborn.
Desertification. The destruction of the rain forest. The overuse of ground water. Burning fossil fuels.
Since Rachel Carson the literate world has taken much note of this little petri dish we all live in.
The future of the human race is dependent upon how we care for this planet.
If you don't believe that you deny science and put the future in peril.
Human freedom is not challenged by ecological care.
It is enhanced.
