To MagiK:
Well, I don't think it's fair at all to say that philosophy is just so much airy-fairy stuff. If you despise philosophy, well, guess it's just you, but like it or not, you'll just have to accept that there are a lot of people who beg to differ with you on this view -- and on the issue of global warming -- and that what you prefer isn't going to change that. (Unless, of course, you believe in enforcing your views through various means.)
And if you disagree with the points I've raised, there's nothing to it but you demonstrate to my satisfaction the validity of
your position. Insofar as you haven't (I've already explained why), sorry, but I remain unconvinced regarding your views on global warming.
Guess we'll just agree to disagree. End of story.
BTW, thanks for providing an opportunity for me to engage in a little more careful thinking on these issues.
