[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 780402, member: 944"] The weirdest thing in the world to me is this.... It is FACT that the earth has undergone severe climate change and mass extinction events numerous times in its history. (I believe either 5 or 6) These events can be slow brought on by climatic changes or rapid (think asteroid strikes). There is NO reason not to expect this pattern to continue. We have mapped the orbits of an estimated 10% of all asteroids with near earth orbits. In a recent 10 year stretch (1994-2013) NASA tracked 566 meteors and mini-asteroids which hit the earth. Yet, we are worried about near term climate change and rising sea levels, We appoint a Climate Czar as if this will do us any good. Even a 3 foot rise in sea levels is trivial compared to a large asteroid strike. Whether you believe the risk is from the idiocy of our species with greenhouse gases, or from space with asteroids, the smartest solution is not to run around sticking your fingers in the dyke, it is to develop aggressively a space program which spreads our species into space so we are not so susceptible to one bad event. Yet, this is not the climate change agenda or solution. <shaking my damn head> This is why I don't believe in the climate change political agenda. [/QUOTE]
