"I am convinced that we are the masters of our fate on this planet and will not be victims of any stinking fluctuations in climate."

The issue is if we are the victims of our mastery.

Bumpersticker: "Don't believe everything you think."

While I'm sure you have a fine mind, and the information which convinced that mind is impeccable, I suspect that conclusion is more prejudice than reasoning.

And it does get wearisome to see every comment which advocates responsibility termed politically liberal. The reality is that Man is having a profound effect without knowing what the long-term consequences will be. It's not responsible to continue absolutely unchecked until the effects are better known. No one talks about stopping, just mitigating, and even that level of accountability drives the Genesis folks crazy.

Sad.
