No, I'm not. *I'd *LOVE* for the world not to be in reasonably serious
danger of massive starvation within my lifetime, but the fact is, the
science on this is about as "controversial" as heliocentrism, evolution,
and the realization that autism is not caused by the mercury which
isn't even IN the vaccines under discussion.

I'm not claiming to be a scientist. *I'm just observing that the positions
of scientists on this issue are about as consistent as the positions of
scientists on the germ theory of disease.

Whether global climate change was a realistic worry was a serious question
twenty years ago, maybe even ten. *It's not now. *Now the question is how
well we can figure out the mechanics and what if anything we can do about
it.

All your ranting is irrelevant; unless you can show that you are a
genuinely qualified expert in the field, I take your garbled nonsense
on the climate precisely as seriously as I take Jenny McCarthy's
incoherent rants about the nature of autism.

Slow down, stop assuming that the goal of everything is to win at
all costs, and look at the data, the studies, and the theories. *I have
never, ever, seen someone remotely competent and literate do this
and still hold to the "skeptic" position on climate change, any more than
I have on evolution. *It's over. *It was a good debate, it's great that
people thought seriously about it... and they thought seriously about
it, did research, and answered the question. *At this point, the "skeptic"
position is just plain insane.

Please stop crossposting this garbage.
