Default david deustch holds forth on Global warming

just watched his Tedtalk-ted.com
he said instead of trying indefintely control co2 emissions we shopudl eitehr be trying to lower the temperatures or trying to adapt to a warmer climate..
its an intersting thought but of course it came at the end of a long and rambling speech

deutsch means german-another testimony to the brilliance of my people

Adaptation is expected. I don't think they be messing with nature.

Considering that Jupiter is also experiencing Global Warming / Climate Change, it is highly unlikely we will be able to change or control The Sun.

Adaptation is the only way species, including humans, are going to survive. And an increase in global temperatures would not necessarily be a bad thing. In past centuries, such increases resulted in much more successful agriculture.

As is Mars, and Pluto.

Sure, to an extent. But water vapor would be a better candidate. There's lots more of it.

CO2's contribution to warming is minimal. There is no good reason to force billions of people below the poverty line, just to line Al Gore's pockets with more cash. If you would like to do without, feel free. I believe there's an article someplace on the internets that explains exactly what you'll have to give up in order to meet the very reasonable target of 4 tons CO2 per year. Good luck!

well though some claim co2 has little influence, the vast majority of the science community seems to be convinced it is a huge influence. al gore doesnt own this theory, he just uses it to promote the democrats, and mostly himself.
doesnt mean it is false.
another tip, dont just believe articles from psuedo scientists you read on the net. who knows what their motives are. in fact, theres only about 3 serious scientists worldwide that oppose it all, and they are pretty much ignored by the rest.
