Hey! Don't knock Y2K. I made a lot of money from that bogus scare. Ha! Ha! It was like taking candy from a baby. I got money to solve a non-existent problem. Yes Global Warming is a LOT like Y2K, however, Y2K was a greater possibility.

Yes and no, Climate change happens, always has, always will, the latest info based on extinctions and changes in civilizations shows it happens at a much faster rate then previously believed. It is a danger to our way of life, so we should be preparing ourselves for it, Understanding what and where the different crops that will be required grow and such, where deserts and drought will happen. As far as the man made part, how much we influence this whole thing, that is still not settled, How we can change or alter it is a fairy tail, how punishing the US and a few other countries can do anything when China shows no signs of slowing down and is pumping out more crap then any of us ever have.

Assinine scare-mongering with no knowledge of history. You ask these fools about the Dust bowl and most don't even know what you are talking about, but they think some drought in Cali means the end of the world.

They are undereducated people, who know so little of history that they are easy to fool.

Seriously, look at these fools. They don't remember even what happened with Y2K. They don't remember the MANY people whose job was BASED upon fear of Y2K literally screaming that not enough is being done.

These were "experts" who were saying that they had nowhere near covered all of the code or even all of the most important key asset codes. And what happened?

Same thing that is happening with AGW as 95% of the models are overestimating the warming.

Shadow,

Have you looked at teh drought data for the US? THERE IS NO CHANGE. Over the past 60 years there has been no change in droughts for the world either.

IF you want to talk about just Cali or Texas, then fine. We had a colder winter in most of the US, so there is no global warming at all???

Ice caps are increasing now. Hawaii have a hurricane hit it? First in 20 years? Are you joking?

What about this? Why didn't you mention a drought so severe that there was dust flowing all over the US. BECAUSE THE DUST BOWL HAPPENED IN THE 1930!!!!

You expect to scare people who are smart enough to know a little bit about history??? PICK UP A HISTORY BOOK!!! Natural disasters are not a new event. They are only new to people so ignorant of history that they are doomed to repeat it.

do you really not believe in climate change ? All you need to do is look around you to see it is happening and getting worse every year , look at 2014 - california and texas had the worst droughts ever , then the worst fire season in california , for the first time in more than 20 years hawaii had a hurricane touch land , actually that's wrong because they had two back to back and that has never happened , alberta canada had huge blizzards last month followed by some of the hottest weather they got all year ( that is not normal ) the ice caps are melting and this is speeding up , europe had drastic weather changes too and its expected that in a decade there will not be any ice in the northwest passage ( which until recently was only passable for a few weeks per year by icebreakers )and some islands in the pacific might be underwater in a decade ( a decade ago they were 10 feet or more abouve sea level )

every model they had a decade ago said the changes we see now would not happen for 50 years , they are happening so fast that now scientists say in 50 years we might see the california coastline , new jersy shore and all of louisiana under water permanently

First of all Y2K was a real issue that could have caused a great deal of problems if corporations that were vulnerable had not acted to fix the issue. Nobody cared on January 1, 2000 because a large number of people worked alot of hours to correct the issue.

Human induced climate change is also a real issue thst if not delt with as we did Y2K will result in major problems world-wide.

Thank you for coming up with such a good example of recognizing a problem and acting on it in time to provent disaster.

In a sense yes. Science-haters and their dupes think the world will become a Giant Marxist PC concentration camp if taxes are placed on carbon. Actually Al Gore already went back in his Reptilian time machine to the 1920s and using his Bear-Pig powers installed state and local gasoline taxes. We are doomed, and must be Extremely Alarmed about the Plot of Science to take over our precious bodily fluids, unless you can post more questions here and save us. Hurry or Tinker Bell will die. Use your mobile nuclear reactor if necessary, and blow up the Hollow Moon now.
