The best part is we don't know what the warming will do to the weather. It could fry the earth... or trigger and ice age... or just make the weather really weird for a long time.
i hope people start getting rid of the attitude that "5-10 degrees by 2100...it's no big deal". people are such products of instant gratification that if they don't see something obviously drastic they shrug it off, overlooking the fact that in the relatively small timespan that humans have been on earth we've irreversably changed the climate of a billion year old ecosystem.
i saw this picture of the glacier ( or what's left of ) on the top of kilimanjaro, it's scarier when you realize, the top picture was ( at the time ) only 7 years old.
Thats not the real issue though. The real issue is whether we did it, and whether we can reverse it, and whether it even matters at all.
I don't trust a scientists word on this issue, no matter what he's saying, unless it's "I don't know." I don't trust them because I know for a fact they dont have the tools or technology to predict a damn thing for our long term climate. The best tools we have now are mathmatical models run on computers (weather obeys the laws of physics... PERIOD). These models cannot even come close to predicting historical weather when run backwards, and if they were worth a damn they would be able to.
Either way the earths climate has shifted more drastically than this literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of times.
