#4 The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

The Germans have already committed themselves to the economic consequences of climate change (long piece, WaPo, Sunday), so they're really not gonna take the alternative very well, starting with denial.

#6 The latest news is that the effects of AGW are accelerating! Even as we have had a period of cooling (despite the increased CO2). So logically, if we actually reduce CO2 and reduce temperature, the effects of AGW will accelerate even faster?
They have taken what I believe is a legitimate issue and area for scientific investigation and turned it into a religion and tool for political and economic power acquisition.

Glenmore,
you need to let go of such old fashioned concepts as truth and science and embrace post-normal science, which is post-modern science in the service of a political agenda.
The process is explained here.

Science fiction has to have at least some scientific grounding....

Then slap a 50% tariff on them. All their excess automobile production is making Gaia sweat.

#10 What I don't get is why anyone would listen to the World Wrestling Federation on ANY subject. That shit's as fake as CRU's temperature data!

#12 I can almost see the case for the other alleged consequences, but how the hell does a rise in temperatures and sea level lead to an "Amazon die-back"? More heat, more moisture, and more CO2 makes for a pretty happy jungle, barring Captain Planet-style clearcutting villains grinding it all up with giant Thneed machines.
