I guess we could just sit back, and watch the world burn. It's just a matter of time.

And "Richard A. Muller (born January 6, 1944) is an American professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley. He is also a faculty senior scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. In the world of science, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is synonymous with “excellence.” Thirteen Nobel prizes are associated with Berkeley Lab. Seventy Lab scientists are members of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), one of the highest honors for a scientist in the United States. Thirteen of our scientists have won the National Medal of Science, our nation’s highest award for lifetime achievement in fields of scientific research. Eighteen of our engineers have been elected to the National Academy of Engineering, and three of our scientists have been elected into the Institute of Medicine. In addition, Berkeley Lab has trained thousands of university science and engineering students who are advancing technological innovations across the nation and around the world."
Quite a negative attitude you have there, Roach. Basically, you're saying there is nothing we can do about the inevitable, so just ignore it.Rorschach wrote:Not interested in his glass completely empty mentality thanks...boxy wrote:Any of you fluffy bunnies want to challenge the science behind his claims?
yes bad things could happen to us and the planet... happened before, but let's not dwell on things we cannot control.![]()

"I don't think we will survive another 1,000 years without escaping beyond our fragile planet."
...
Both his lectures on Saturday and Sunday night were sold out - the enthusiastic audience keen to hear the 73-year-old speak about the universe, black holes, and the history of time.
"I want to share my excitement and enthusiasm about this quest, so remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet," Mr Hawking said.
"Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist.
"Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at."
So, it will happen again, sooner or later. AGW is totally irrelevant to this thread. Sooner or later, the climate is going to change (even if we don't do it ourselves). And that's one of the more minor dangers we face, that can be managed, to some extent (although the death toll is likely to be ugly), whereas the more cataclysmic problems could see us wiped without any chance to plan or prepare ourselves.mellie wrote:The climate has been changing for 4.54 billion years.......
