re: #80 quickjustice
I’m a climate change skeptic, but I also think the issue must be addressed in the context of many global issues. If Monckton is dishonest, then he hurts the cause of climate change skepticism. As a skeptic, I don’t doubt the scientific evidence that climate is changing. I doubt that human activity causes the changes. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be concerned about the changes.
And if we must confront the changes, causality aside, I prefer Lomberg’s approach. Let’s prioritize solutions rationally, and not emotionally.
quickustice -
As the dominant species on Earth, I am sure that we cause SOME CHANGE.
That said, the questions become:
1. How Much?
2. Does it Matter?
3. IF it DOES MATTER - What Can We Do About It?
4. Might the CURE be WORSE than the DISEASE, at least to our Species?
To me - those are the real questions.
