Mr Opinion- Sounds correct. But we need to turn off the water in the bath before mopping the floor

Canem Malum,

Are you aware that a lot of climatologists have had nervous breakdowns because they could not handle that there a so many idiots (my words) who refuse to accept the warnings about AGW and its consequential climate change and resulting damage to the environment?

Mr Opinion:

People who have studied biology and are biologists that believe in the theory of evolution don't claim that the environment can be "damaged". What the environment can do, indeed what it does all the time, is CHANGE.

The global environment is just the state of the biosphere at a particular time . The notion that particular part of it is pristine or damaged is purely a human construct from a human perspective by those who don't understand that change in the environment is the norm. The change in the environment is driven by randomness and without any particular direction or goal. For a modern biologist there is no purpose nor moral element in the evolution of the environment and species- it just is what it is and does what it does.

However, what a biologist might say is that for a certain change that may occur in the environment that it may/will impact detrimentally on particular species (where impact detrimentally means: drives them to extinction and/or makes its organisms live with pain and suffering). But in the case of our own species, whether the CO2 we've pumped into the air will have an overall detrimental effect in the next few centuries is certainly up for debate and definitely not a settled question. (Note: this is not the question about whether the CO2 will dramatically change the climate- but whether when you consider pros vs cons for humans as a species will we be detrimentally affected).

So far, to date, by increasing CO2 as a by-product of human industry has without as doubt been beneficial overall to humans as a species. (eg: the number of people on the planet has exploded and at the same time our life expectancy has increased as well as our overall health and well-being.)

Misopinionated & CM,

Both disgusting anti-humans. Do you hate people so much ?

Joe

Mr Opinion- No I wasn't aware of that- interesting.

pseudo-mouth,

I am definitely anti-human (as you put it) when it comes to Holocaust deniers and AGW deniers.

The first group is absolutely disgusting and the latter group is a cancer to life on the planet.

Can you blame me for having that attitude?

You might be willing to capitulate to these types of people but I will never do so.
