[lbo-talk] climate change denial

[James Heartfield]

"Lenin's tomb" dimisses the errors of the climate change models as if it did 
not reflect on them. Then says the negative effects carbon emissions are 
already measurable.

I beg to disagree. More to the point, the positive effects of carbon 
emissions, the increase in quality of life consequent on fossil fuels over 
the last century is abundantly clear.

But given that the case for action on global warming was first made by the 
British Prime Minster in 1990, and by the US vice president around the same 
time, one has to ask, if Lenin's Tomb, or Andy F, or Gar or Doug believed 
one word of it, wouldn't they have done something to reduce their carbon 
footprints?

I will be happy to answer points from any poster who has refrained from 
flying this last year. Otherwise, I have to assume that these are rhetorical 
postures.
