Going back to the recent death of Yuri Izrael, note the following from his wiki page:
Yuri Antonievich Izrael (Russian: Юрий Антониевич Израэль; 15 May 1930, Tashkent – 23 January 2014, Moscow) was a vice-chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) until September 2008, when the new bureau was elected.[1][2]He was the "most influential scientific adviser" for Vladimir Putin, the former president of Russia, according to CNN.[3
Izrael agrees with the IPCC predictions for future climate change, stating, "Global temperatures will likely rise by 1.4-5.8 degrees during the next 100 years. The average increase will be three degrees. I do not think that this threatens mankind. Sea levels, due to rise by 47 cm in the 21st century, will not threaten port cities." He also states, "I think the panic over global warming is totally unjustified. There is no serious threat to the climate," and, "There is no need to dramatize the anthropogenic impact, because the climate has always been subject to change under Nature's influence, even when humanity did not even exist."[8] Additionally, he did not believe the 0.6 °C (1.08 °F) rise in temperature observed in the last 100 years is a threat, stating, "there is no scientifically sound evidence of the negative processes that allegedly begin to take place at such temperatures."[8]Instead of decreasing carbon dioxide, he argues, aerosol injections in to the stratosphere would be a more effective way to mitigate global warming.[10] He appears to favor adaption over mitigation, arguing, "The people of Bangladesh, who live at sea level, may face problems if the Indian Ocean rises. Still, their resettlement would be much cheaper than projected Kyoto Protocol expenses."[8]So can we sit on our haunches and feel relieved that by continuing to pump up the levels of carbon dioxide ... which we continue to do regardless?! Or do we worry more because of it?! Will this greater warming effect brought about by man and added to the extra heat generated by nature (via the
last exponential rebounding and resettling of the earths plates as a result of the previous glacial
event), create much more snow than before... and as we enter into the next glacial event... will it come as a big dump of snow that kill millions... will it create another "snow ball earth"?!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowball_Earth.
Yuri: your "I/eye": see for yourself. Is it worth taking the risk?! No, of course not, and this is where the TUSSH comes in... they make sense, like wearing seat belts and airbags make sense... for precautionary purposes given the dangers.
