You were watching SBS too last night I take it?

I missed part of the documentry, but I thought warming is historically 
followed by increased glaciation.  Sea levels may end up dropping not 
rising, and malaria might fall back towards the equator.

All the more reason to worry about things that we know are going to be 
problems and not things that might cause problems.

I agree that sustainable development is a with out a doubt a very good 
thing, but I still don't think that global warming is the main reason it 
should be pursued.

Wayne.
