[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 67687, member: 126"] Re: Hurricane Sandy Unless you buy into the tipping point theory that we need to immediately stop any warming trend to prevent a chaotic shift (like in the bad sci-fi movies), we have time to collect data, and learn more about the science. I find it kind of arrogant and arbitrary that some UN agency has already published an ideal target temperature to set the global thermostat at. This should be a slow moving phenomenon that we can thoughtfully inspect and react to, as appropriate. The past arm waving looks like a raw power grab, and not really addressing any real issue. Actually that is probably good, since giving government an effective lever to change global temperature is scary to me, because of potential for unintended consequences. JR [/QUOTE]
