@106. Mr Lucky:

If one declares that a trend is not in question, does this end the debate?

If there is no question, what’s the debate about?

What if the science becomes not still sound?

Then theories are re-evaluated. It’s called science.

Is it difficult to face the possibility that the reality may turn out to be better for humanity, and that the potential for ecological disaster may be unfounded?

Wishful thinking is not a solution – it is a cop out.

Yes I do profit. I fuel up my car and go make a better life for myself, my family, and my co-workers, as well as for the community at large. Quite compelling from my point of view.

Short term thinking. Life without dependence on foreign oil is a better life for all. Quite compelling from any point of view.

You can’t cherry pick life sustaining actions. You either live or you die.

How can you possibly make the leap from advocating alternative energy to suicide? The long term consequences of fossil fuel use are not good for anybody but the oil companies. The life sustaining action in this case is pursuit of alternative energy.

Peace.
