Science can fix climate woes, author contends

Freeman Dyson tells students a wet Sahara once supported livestock
herds

After branding himself a heretic, mathematician and physicist Freeman
Dyson told a Fairhaven College audience that fears of global warming
are overblown.

Dyson acknowledged that human activity is adding carbon dioxide to the
Earth?s atmosphere, and that could raise its temperature. But he said
he finds scientists? climate models unconvincing.

He also expressed confidence that the negative effects of global
warming,
if any, could be overcome, while some areas of the Earth would likely
benefit from the change.

Six thousand years ago, Dyson said, glaciers in the Alps were much
smaller than they are today, and the Sahara was wet enough to support
herds of livestock.

Keep going what's your point. 10,000 years ago most of the Northern US
was covered with a mile of ice. As th glaciers retreated they created
the Great Lakes and the finger lakes in NY. Of course the Sahara was
wet. The more importatn question is what to do about the human induced
changes that are superimposed on the natural changes.

Why is it the kooks ALWAYS harp on the negatives, if there really are
any?
The predications of the left when it comes to technology, industry and
environment have
always been way off (peak oil in 1980, etc) because they are emotional,
irrational and jump to conclusions. Pretty soon, they make it a crime
to discuss global warming repercusions in anything but a negative
light.
Global warming's "fight" is nothing more than the biggest socialist
scam off all time. A method of shifting trillions of dollars and
millions of jobs out of the West. Otherwise, China, which is predicted
to be producing 4x the U.S. output of C02 by 2025 would have been
included in the disgusting Kyoto agreement for controlling C02.
