what i am trying to point out is that for the last 2 million years we have gone through a natural cycle of glaciation, and lack of glaciation periods. they were ALL natural, or do you believe that man had something to do with them also? i have pointed out that interglacial periods last about 125,000 years, and that we are just out of the last major ice age by only 15,000 years. and in each interglacial period the planet warmed up naturally, granted there were short periods of minor ice ages, rather just like we have had in the last 15,000 years. i have also pointed out that while there is much that we do know about our climate, there is so much more that we DONT know, and that is the problem. when we dont know something, either how it works or what effect things we do will have, dont you think it is best that we move slowly? perhaps instead of making huge changes all at once, that we begin small and see what happens? remember "fools rush in where angels fear to tread". what happens if we do something that according to the climate models would make things better, actually makes things worse?

is that what you tell your kids? yeah go ahead and do something that we all know might get you hurt badly, we dont mind. this is exactly what you are suggesting with what to do with the climate. lets just rush in and do something despite the fact that we dont know what will happen because we dont have the whole picture.
Will you stop insulting me. And I have always told my kids to respect their environment, yes that is what I tell them. You really know nothing. You just mimic what you have read. You are just a parrot of the talking points of conservatives.

Oh, I definitely know we can somehow do it if we put a united effort towards it. But as a species, for whatever reason, we just can't.

You know nothing, sorry. And no paleontologists are few and far between. No the asteroid did not cause their demise. You can believe whatever you want

i get my information from a lot of sources, i dont mimic anyone. i listen to geologists, and climatologists, and engineers, and a variety of other scientists on a variety of subjects. limbaugh and hannity, and all the others, conservative or liberal are just entertainers, or politicians. they only know what they read in the papers, as such i dont consider them to be experts on any subject except the entertainment industry or the political industry. i am rather an expert on the auto industry, i have a degree in automotive technology, and i have spent time in the pits and in the shops building and tuning race cars. i have also built cars for the street. i am also an expert on the hotel industry, as i have spent 25 years working in them. i ahve some expertise in accounting as i have spent the same 25 years doing just that in the hotel industry, and in jobs between seasons when i worked in the national parks.

and if you want me to not "insult" you, then STOP MISREPRESENTING WHAT I WRITE.

you said my opinion was that man had nothing to do with the climate, that is false. you suggested that i said we should do everything for man and nothing for the environment, that is also false. in other words you LIED about what i said. i asked you to stop doing that and yet you refuse to do so. so until you do i will suggest that you get a reading comprehension course, a clue, or other education. dont like then STOP MISREPRESENTING MY WORDS.
