The point I was trying to make, aside from being a heretic and stirring up a
good discussion, was that climate change and global warming are
scientifically realities. There is a question about how much CC/GW are anthropogenic.
After reading all the UN docs (I am ex-UN), I personally believe that human
impacts on climate change are significant and need to be studied particularly
if attempts to mitigate CC/GW are to be made and funded. The actual IPCC
studies themselves are more pessimistic than the published reports which were
changed to appear less alarming and more palatable to politicians and decision
makers. I believe that it is absolutely necessary to adopt pro-active
adaptation strategies and programs which unfortunately is not really happening.
Perhaps Freeman Dyson meant to encourage discussion by his remarks or simply
want to gain notoriety .
As I grow older I find that I only have opinions and not ideas.
