No, I assume that the less we interfere with the economy now, the more wealth we'll have in the future for dealing with the actual problems of that future.
Bwhahahaha. No economic problems here boss.
And to follow up, how do you propose we not "intefere with the economy". What the fuck do you think the economy is?
Insurance companies have actuaries who spend their lives studying and calculating risk, and they work out the rates on insurance policies. And the verdict is that premiums will need to go up.
I would be amazed, if ever in the history of insurance companies, that a study of risk calculated that they could lower their premiums.
So, your glib cynicism means you don't notice what's going on around you.
And idiot basement dwelling slashmods (who've probably never paid for insurance in their lives) give you +5 insightful.
Natural climate variability is extremely unlikely to have contributed more than about one-quarter of the temperature rise observed in the past 60 years
Dude, what the fuck. I am not talking about configuring DEVICES. I'm talking about shit like: install this Linux flavor, try to bring it up-to-date through its GUI application, the GUI application hangs, I have to go to terminal to kill it and run yum update from there, because the GUI app won't run properly.

Well, no.
The science comes up with a range of temperatures (or sea level rises, or whatever).
If anything other than the low estimate gets cited people bitch that the problem is being overstated.
So, oddly, the problem allways gets undertated.
Shittty, isn't it.

(Answer - it's us!)
Methinks that in a decade or two some natural process will start to decrease carbon levels
Uh, why?
No, seriously, why do you think that?

Cap and trade IS A SCAM which ...
Was invented by the right.
And, much to lefty disgust actualy worked when it wasn't sabotaged by crazies.
Even 20 years ago Scandinavia was on the path to self-destruction based on their socialist ideology,
Some insane libertard gave this "insightful".
Madness.
California is solving it's pollution problem by trashing it's economy and encouraging its citizens to move elsewhere.
You say that as if that was a bad thing. Bizarre.
Numbers or fuck off you idiot troll.
"I wouldn't be suprised if all human GHG emissions were offset by one troll fart".
Numbers or fuck off you idiot troll.
The other Amazon country, with land borders with Brazil and Surinam?
Nah, why would I bother doing something sensible like that.
Sorry.
RU Sure?
AFAIK on a 32 bit cpu linux time_t is 32 bits (a long).
I fall in the camp of reality myself which isn't listed by you.
Well, let's work out what camp you lie in.
The UN's IPCC reports are entirely based on research by the CRU in England headed by Phil Jones
Oh, the camp of idiots who don't know what they're talking about, there's a suprise.
When are the Palestinians going to explicitly recognize Israel's right to exist?
When Israel recognises Palestines right to exist?
You tell me what the signal is, and what is the noise, using YOUR favorite cherrypicked interval,
Why bother. We all know how honest you are.
Any real citations?
I would not trust the dailyfail to tell me if water is wet or not.
Ah but the can tell you whether it causes cancer.
(or cures it).
So... what you're saying is that if the temp went from 60 degrees in mid-October to 64 degrees, you couldn't survive?
Uh, if the temperature is 60 degrees in mid-October you're dead.
Oh, you're using those funny degrees. Salty ice and human body temperature wasn't it?
Global CO2 levels have been this high before
Yup.
15 million years ago.
Pretty warm back then.
Global CO2 levels [...] in fact cycle up and down, sometimes very rapidly,
But not as rapdily as they are doing now.
Odd, how come I keep hearing this 90% figure, but every time I look the number is actually 2-3%?
Yes, that is odd.
Where do you see 2-3%?
You don't seem to be getting an answer to your "what percent is man made" question.
That's odd.

Good enough for you?

Do you even own any 32 bit devices?
You don't have a phone?
Hum, 15 years.
2012-15 = 1997.
So you're starting around 1998. Wonder why.
They all turned into DVD vending machines here about 5 years ago.
