As was stated earlier, there is little dispute that global warming is occurring; the only real dispute is how much human activity affects it.

Obviously, the melting caps is a concern. Will it have dramatic effects on human devolopment? probably yes. Is it the end of the world as we know it? probably not.

Again, humanity and the earth have adapted and modified over thousands (i.e. longer than the caps have been around) of years. The Sahara was once a lush area that supported human life but over the span of ~300-350 years it became desert as the earth changed its rotation (think of that - the Earth changed its axis and human life survived. That is some significant adapting).

Given the vast increase in population and creation of cities - global warming will have significant affect on humanity over time. It is my belief, however, that any number of unknown scientific breakthroughs (neccessity being the mother of invention) will probably prevent the doom and gloom predictions of those milking the tit of global warming fear.

At the same time, perhaps now is not the time to invest in that beachfront property.
