Your counter argument to REASONs analogy only works if EVERY statitician was changing the numbers. That seriously strains credulity. Why is the global conspiracy concept easier for you to accept?

I agree. We simply MUST adapt, and stop adding CO2 to the atmosphere like we are today or we're going to go extinct far more quickly than we need to, along with countless other species. Now, of course, that's not what YOU meant, as you're mind is made up in one direction and you find data supporting your conclusion more salient than the opposing data which refutes your position, but I agreed with your closing point and wanted to post on something about which we agree.

We must adapt or we will go extinct. Now, you and I simply need to find common ground on the specifics and details on how best to perform that adaptation and where to focus our energies.



Btw - Nice post, REASON. Well said.
