ParticipantIf you think China and India aren’t aware of the chaos — both political and humanitarian — that rising sea levels would have in their countries, you are kidding yourself. They have a lot more people living near sea level than we do.
I’m curious — if a giant meteor was on a path to Earth and the governments of the world said they had to tax each family to develop and deploy a device to destroy the meteor and save the planet, how much would you and your family be willing to pay?
Yes, it is an extreme analogy, and no, I’m not comparing climate change to a meteor. I’m just trying to figure out what price we would put on saving the only place in the universe that we are able to exist.

ParticipantFrom this angle it could be well behind the house in question, which would place it well off to the left of the original photograph.

I believe that GW is real, but from what I gather from the deniers is that they have a few problems with it:
– While global warming may be happening, it’s not human caused and is part of natural earth cycles.
– Even if it does exist and is caused by humans, it’s too expensive/not worth it to try and fix.
The first point can (and has) been answered and debunked by science. The second point? I think that’s the true position of the deniers. It’s a reasonable position, I just wish they would come out and say it rather than claim some global conspiracy spearheaded by megalomaniac Al Gore as the basis for their opposition to climate change reform.
