| 674660 | 2008-06-02 00:32:00 | There's an interesting book by Michael Crichton called A State of Fear - that while the story is fiction, he has some speeches in the back which he is serious....basically saying the ecology movement only started after the cold war ended because the governments needed something else to keep the public scared. That doesn't seem to hold true for the current US government. Martynz |

While I don't disagree that people are bad for the ecology, I don't agree that warming trends are entirely our own fault either. I guess I'm kind of in the middle. But there is a lot of money to be made from the new "the sky is falling" scenario. I could list a lot load of things we were/are supposed to be panicking about. Most people/companies are just out to get what they can out of it, very few actually care about the current environment. As for "saving the planet" though, its just likely our living conditions could change so that we can no longer survive, nothing new there, happens to species all the time. The planet will continue on without us and produce some new lifeforms. I agree with you. Mainly a natural cycle, but unfortunately assisted by mans stupidity and greed. Ken |

| 674662 | 2008-06-02 02:57:00 | hmm two comments. Anyone notice that the "Pro climate warming" camp was much more vocal - read: argumentative than the "no climate warming" camp who would sit respectively while the others put their case across. David Rat came across as arrogant, rude and an I specialist. |
