[quote user="challenger3980"]I NEVER claimed that mankinds effect on the envinronment was a MYTH, but I do question whether it is a SEVERE as some of the EXTREMISTS claim it is. I doubt that it is as severe as the worst case hand wringers claim, it IS something that we should do what we can about, but I believe the problem is neither non-existant, or the worst case that some claim, but rather somewhere in between.[/quote] The problem with global warming is, it is a long-term process. We will know who is right, the "believers", "deniers", or the "in-betweens" only when it is too late to change anything. Sorry, "we" was the wrong word it should read "our successors". Perhaps that makes it easy for "deniers" as they personally won't have to live through all of it. Though this might not be complete correct either. Here in Germany we have design rainfalls for the design of drainage system. It is a 5 min. rain every 5 years. Currently we have it more than once a year. The same with high water levels of rivers. The levee hight is dimensioned for a high water expected every 100 years. Each year we have a new century high water somewhere. This month we had rainfalls of 8 inch per day, more than the average rainfall for July. Each event alone has perhaps happened before. It is the frequency that makes me think. Is it a result of global warming? I'm not sure, but what if it is? Regards, Volker
