Spud this is something that has puzzled me. Why is there
fear of warmth? Is it the images of flooded coastline
from melting icecaps? Is there genuine concern that
mankind couldn't deal with a rising sea, given
hundreds or thousands of years notice? Or is there
something else Im not seeing? Is there concern about
wild species? Do we not have an inexhaustible supply
of species preadapted to warmer climates? What is
the big deal if this planet gets warmer?
