Would that be the scientific arguements found in the, to be kind, slightly exaggerated film An Inconvienent Truth? But, I digress. I'm still trying to learn what is acceptable warming of the planet.

Mankind is part of the enviorment, and like all other parts of the enviorment, his actions have effects on the enviorment. Now, if gw comes to it's most dire pass, we will see massive flooding of coastal areas, as I understand it. My question then is, since this has been the case in earlier times, what would we do if this "crisis" was NOT the result of mankinds effect on the enviorment?

In other words, the planet has warmed and cooled before, as it will continue to do. At what point do we interfere with this process to avoid the inevitable results?

As an aside, I didn't know a scientific truth could be arrived at by who opposes it.
