Talk:Global warming survey

Don't these two statements contradict each other?


 * 1) climate science has provided enough knowledge so that the initiation of abatement measures is warranted.
 * 2) However, consensus also existed regarding the current inability to explicitly specify detrimental effects that might result from climate change.

Am I reading this right? Or, is this summarizing the source materials correctly? It sounds like #2 says there is NO CONSENSUS on ANY specific detrimental effects, while #1 says we MUST initiate measures to abate them.

Huh? The world's leading scientists say we have to take action to stop something bad that they can't even identify, let alone detect? --Uncle Ed 15:46, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Merge
(William M. Connolley 16:01, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)) This page should be merged into scientific opinion on climate change

(William M. Connolley 17:54, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)) No-one answered me. I'm going to do it tonight.


 * (William M. Connolley 19:58, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)) OK. Merge done. This page now a redirect.

What is the motivation for suppressing material on scientific surveys, with their links? Yet the US "state climatologists'" opinions, surveyed by a "sound economy" group are retained? Is this perhaps a Christianist issue or something? --Wetman 19:44, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * (William M. Connolley 19:58, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)) Errr... sorry, not sure what you mean by that. I was in the process of editing it just now, its merged, so perhaps take another look and complain again if you still dislike it. I've retained the state clim bit, even though I dislike it (I don't think they amount to much and the survey itself is dodgy) to avoid accusations of censorship.
