    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?
