The earth goes through these cycles continuously, and it isn't either cause or justification for us to give up our lifestyles, no matter WHAT you think.

I hope you understand, because we will NOT summit to any degree.

You’re not alone. Plenty of people think this way. To hell with the future; gimmie mine NOW.

The best people to rob are future generations, because they don’t have the power to fight back or call the police.

I hold two Science Degrees (Bachelor AND Masters) from a major midwestern University.

I well know what isotopes are, what electron valences are, the organization and structure of the Periodic Table of the Elements, including the various related elements such as the halogens etc., that exhibit similar chemical behaviour because the # of electrons in their outer-most valence.

There is precious little you and your fellow Pissants can tell me that I don't already know.

Further, I will tell you this:

Science can be described as data in search of a conclusion, i.e. a theory

Your faux/pseudo science is, in reality a conclusion in desperate search for supporting data. To date, it has been an epic fail.

You use "scientific" terms, but not the scientific method - in fact, quite the opposite - all the while calling hour betters, those who actually use the scientific method, who actually look at facts, ignorant. You are naught but eco-terrorists attempting to scare people into engaging in actions which will severely restrict their lives, their livelihoods, and their prosperity.

As a person with a science degree, you are well aware of the emissivities of carbon dioxide and methane, no?

EVERY generation has acted this way, and everybody has gotten along fine. Nothing bad is going to happen to future generations, and if there are challenges for them to deal with, they will deal with them. Such is the way of humanity.
