That is a ridiculous analogy and side-steps the original question and that was, if you already know something is wrong but you aren't sure how bad it is, to what lengths do you go to mitigate the risks of the worst possible scenario?  If your loved one has what could be simply a discolored, oddly-shaped mole but could be melanoma, do you risk that person's life hoping that it won't be the latter?

We do not know for a fact that we (Human Beings) are causing our globe to warm....and that it is going to get worse.  We do know that we MUST come up with better solutions to protect our environment.  We are, everyday, coming up with better solution.

I fear, we are going to over-regulate ourselves into a depression, if we are not careful.

I am not against doing the right thing, but lets be certain what the "right" thing is.

That is all I got to say...

So older people are more likely to drive big, gas-guzzling cars, shun the use of more efficient appliances and light bulbs because they might be more expensive in the short term, etc.  How does any of that help with reducing emissions?  Additionally, which generation(s) were responsible for the wholesale pollution in this country before regulations were passed that prohibited them from doing so?  Was it the current generation of tree-huggers who caused, allowed or in some cases even encouraged GM and thousands of other factories (and individuals) all over the U.S. to poison the air, land and water with their waste?  If this demographic was so, "responsible," how did we get to where we are now?

While for the most part, you are correct - I also am of the current generation of tree-huggers but I am getting to be one of those older people too.   :wink:

The heat has arrived and with it comes the extreme weather events.

Batten down the hatches. It arrives within 24 hours . . .  :yes:

The weather in our area look pretty good for this week........A high of 74 on Wednesday and mid to upper 60's through Saturday.  Memorial Day a high of 77.  THAT sounds freakin awesome to me.

And yet tornadoes have ripped Oklahoma yesterday and again today; with a reported mile wide F4 or better version ripping through there just a short while ago.

Live in delusion if you like, but when an F5 comes to give you an enema I don't want to hear nobody warned you.

51 dead and counting in that 2 mile wide twister in Ok this afternoon. 7 of them at an elementary school that they are still digging through.

I am hearing now that there are at least 20 children at that elementary school are among the dead, and with 25 more unaccounted for. . .

It will be within the next 45 minutes or so. This is the same system that raped Oklahoma yesterday afternoon.
