Global warming?

From here

I guess we'll be finding out soon if it's all junk science. Of course, if they're wrong, and global warming is a hoax, and we attempt to stop it, we will have wasted resources. If they're right, and we don't try to do anything about it, we are seriously f****ed.

It's sort of like staying in a building when the fire alarm goes off, figuring that there's a good chance it's a false alarm.

Scientists: Pace of Climate Change Exceeds Estimates


CHICAGO, Feb. 14 -- The pace of global warming is likely to be much faster than recent predictions, because industrial greenhouse gas emissions have increased more quickly than expected and higher temperatures are triggering self-reinforcing feedback mechanisms in global ecosystems, scientists said Saturday.
"We are basically looking now at a future climate that's beyond anything we've considered seriously in climate model simulations," Christopher Field, founding director of the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology at Stanford University, said at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
