| 1292563 | 2012-08-05 11:29:00 | Ah yes, despite clear Consensus by the majority of experts people still think they know better. Key words, consensus, experts and majority. I seem to recall there was a "consensus by the majority of experts" that the Earth was flat at one point.Just because a lot of people have the same opinion on a subject, doesn't make it fact. There have been lots of 'majorities' who have been proven wrong over the centuries... | johcar (6283) | ||

| 1292565 | 2012-08-05 12:00:00 | The consensus seems to be real enough, I can't see (in my limited capacity to do so) that anyone is mounting any solid opposition to it. Yes, they all agree that climate change is a real thing. Now they need to reach a consensus that climate change is constant, and has been since we had a climate, |

Why wouldn't you take the cautious approach and assume the worst until a definitive decision is proven? Again earth flat v round wasn't going to affect your grandchildren |

| 1292567 | 2012-08-05 20:19:00 | I personally can not see any disadvantages in coming up with power generation systems that rely on sun or wind or the likes,or better less energy hungry products or recycled products.I may cost some in the short term but as we all know its how humans are hard wired to respond, negative reinforcement People don't not speed cos they're worried they mat hurt someone the majority keep their speed down so they don't get a ticket I am unsure either way. But what I am sure about is its better to assume that its happening than its not until we really know. Which will probably be thousands if years away. That's alot of damage if we get it wrong |
