Isn't that overly dramatic?

No, but your inane threads certainly are, and seem to reflect a need for constant attention. JMHO.

Which threads do you mean?

Collectivism is a good word.

And yes, it IS tragic.

President Obama will undergo peer review on November 6, 2012 - and begin packing his bags for Chicago.

Off topic.

The topic is global warming I believe - and while listening to a recording of the VP debate in 2008, the other day - I heard Joe Biden say that he believes that global warming is man made. Since he is a major player in the Obama administration and climate change is bound to be a minor campaign issue - mentioning the election is entirely on topic - especially since I labeled the election as a form of peer review.

Well Iran is known to be developing biological weapons.

As for actual biological warfare - here is an interesting presentation of the 1346 Siege of Kaffa. Bodies of plague victims were thrown over the city walls using catapults. Primitive - but effective.

Even the Koch brothers helped fund an independant and alternative review of warming. It tackled various asserted problems with other studies and confirmed that yes, the earth has been warming up.

At this point, one has to be in utterly abject denial if they can't accept that point.

The WHY is still subject to debate or more accurately HOW MUCH the various factors contribute to the problem but there is a lot of hard science indicating that human emissions are a solid contributing factor.

However, it's all moot. Because no one is going to abide by any such treaties and if any of you have read the science the damage is pretty much already done and would take 100 years or so to reverse. <shrug>

So get ready for some MAJOR unrest in the far east in particular over the next 30-40 years and more as billions of people scrabble about for life on disappearing land masses.
