and thats not what were talking about but the adaptation to effects of climate - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 11:53 6
- I don't think there is anything in the climate or the effects thereof that can be extremely precisely predicted. - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 12:00 5
  - the effect of rising waters can and the effect of more CO2 in the athmosphere can too (but to a less certain degree) - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 12:02
  - so any attempts to adapt to an uncertain future might prove utterly fruitless -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 12:01 3
    - or vice versa actually - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 12:04
    - Just as any attempts to prevent the climate from changing might prove utterly fruitless... -- nm - Ender Dec 8, 12:02 1
      - sure they might - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 12:05

- So, calling something 'uncertain' is hardly damning when everything is uncertain. -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 11:58 3
  - the lestest estimate is 85% certainty they humans a cousing global warming and climate change -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 12:06 1
    - 85% certainty is like saying 85% pregnant. -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 12:12
