"It hasn't become bad in this topic yet (maybe the environmentalists haven't logged on for the night yet), but there are segments of society that resist certain things irrationally in order to push their agenda."

Like Bush and his oily friends in the petroleum business. Screw the world over for a quick buck, never mind if it causes the deaths of millions. We'll probably be dead anyway by the time Global Warming really sets in, and anyway, we can use our money to insulate us from the most devestating effects. We can just turn off our tvs if there too much news about people dying from floods, starvation, war or any of a hundred other ways global warming is going to hit those poor sods in the third world.

I think yours is already off, as you missed the news of the UN lowering its estimate of sea-level rise from global warming. The new estimate is 17 inches (0.4 meters) over the next 100 years. A bit hard to die from "flooding" at a rate of a half-centimeter per year.

By all indications, global warming will, by increasing growing seasons and plant growth rates, increase the amount of food grown each year as well. So much for scare stories of "mass starvation".
