Climate Change -- conspiracy theory or is it time we all drive a Prius?

Based on what? Compared to what? What's the comparative risk to other risks that you see? Why is it so risky?

I can believe a lot of things also and state no data at all. That's easy and unconvincing.

More than half of the cherry crop in western Canada was damaged in late June, according to the British Columbia Fruit Growers Association. “It seems like somebody took a blowtorch to it and just singed it,” said Pinder Dhaliwal, the association’s president, to CBC News. Even cherries that looked untouched from the outside were cooked, he added, appearing hot all the way through to the pit.

Growers and their respective associations also reported that raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries were baked across the northern west coast before they could be picked, and stone fruits and apples were damaged and burned from the high temperatures. Experts from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) have expressed concern that shriveled wheat berries and diminished kernels will mean a drastic reduction in wheat production this season.

Temperatures above 95F (35C) have also been found to change parts of potatoes from starch to sugar and stunt their growth. Meanwhile, a drought-induced shortage of California’s thirsty tomatoes, used for processing, is expected to spike prices for the foods made from them, like pizza sauce and ketchup.

Heat wave effects.



Aside from an estimated billion costal sea creatures and plants, which may affect the food chain that feeds on them.

However, I’m not predicting anything.

You mean the scientists who do the job full time are intellectually lazy and dishonest and you're the enlightened one for one hour a month or whatever you have thought about it?

And I suppose oil companies have always told the truth, and the climate scientists are lying because money doesn't effect the oil companies judgment.

You'd be better off staying quiet.

I always laugh at people when they speak of hurricanes. To me it is just wind and rain.
