Global warming is fearmongering brainwashing FUD

[Brian Atkins]

Eugene you can sit around making denials and criticisms of timelines all
you want, but the conservative and safest approach here is to assume that
these things can and will happen sooner than you think. From my perspective
you are the one engaging in attempted rational risk assessment when you
flatly state this and that and this and that aren't going to happen.
You sure must have some powerful crystal balls.
