By John Waldman, published 25/3/2009

"a giant ecological experiment in which organisms will increasingly interact with other organisms"

Couldn't that just be called "evolution"?

No Q&A it is not evolution for evolution is always trending to a higher order. It must be only slime or a mutation.
Evolution is the result of the big bang without any inteligence in play at all. Purely random like gold lotto. After all evolutionists grandparents were monkeys and their great grandparents were a bit of slime.

The article is fine as far as it goes, but there is still that problem that temperatures have declined since around the turn of the century. There was a major increase in global temperatures between 1975 and 2000. (About - the official peak year on all temperature tracking sites is 1998, but on the Goddard site its 2005.) Mainstream scientific theory attributes that 25 year warming period to carbon. However, as is widely acknowledged, there has certainly been no increase since then, and a case for saying that temperatures have declined. The article talks about "projections" of temperature increases. Provided we are all clear its about projections then no harm is done.

Bizarre. This succinct little article clearly demonstrates some consequences of global warming that could have all kinds of ramifications for the ecology of human food sources, and so far what we have from the OLO denialist contingent is one comment that demonstrates a profund misunderstanding of the process of evolution, another that does the same but from a really dumb Creationist perspective, yet another that implies that the Darling has always been stuffed, and lastly one that blatantly denies the mountains of evidence for global warming.

There really is little point in discussing global warming and its quite horrendous implications at OLO.
