| 18:00:08 | Lucifer | * Lucifer sips his coffee martini |
| 18:00:16 | Lucifer | OK, let's begin |
| 18:00:21 | Sat | how's that civet coffee? |
| 18:00:25 | Lucifer | tonight's topic is climate change |
| 18:00:34 | Tywick | back via Gaim on SuSE 9.1 |
| 18:00:34 | Lucifer | is the world going to hell? |
| 18:00:40 | Flux | *watches debate without coffee :(* |
| 18:00:45 | Tywick | going? |
| 18:00:51 | localroger | * localroger wonders what we are doing in this handbasket |
| 18:00:51 | Tywick | perhaps IS? |
| 18:01:00 | Lucifer | is the Kyoto Protocol our last, best hope at avoiding disaster? |
| 18:01:16 | Lucifer | what are the real problems and solutions? |
| 18:01:23 | Lucifer | what are the real costs and benefits? |
| 18:01:32 | Lucifer | is there any room for dissent in this debate? |
| 18:01:42 | Sat | heh |
| 18:01:57 | Lucifer | and why was Bjorn Lomborg (the skeptical environmentalist) tarred and feathered? |
| 18:02:03 | Tywick | speaking of global warming I read a breif article about how businesses seem to be more concerned about global climate than politicians |
| 18:02:10 | Lucifer | who wants to voice an opinion? |
| 18:02:32 | Lucifer | oh, there is also a vote ongoing |
| 18:02:35 | Lucifer | * Lucifer fetches the url.... |
| 18:02:41 | localroger | The whole thing is such a field of unknowables that any position can be sensibly defended. |
| 18:02:57 | Flux | yes, perhaps that is right :) |
| 18:02:58 | Futura | :-) Awesome. I thought I was right. |
| 18:03:01 | Lucifer | http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/index.php?board=;action=voteResults;idvote=59 |
| 18:03:15 | Flux | heh Futura has an opinon on it |
| 18:03:16 | Futura | Funny, eh? That question has never crossed my mind before. |
| 18:03:21 | Lucifer | I find this vote particularly interesting because the voters are pretty split on this issue, more than any other I think |
| 18:03:22 | localroger | My personal feeling is that we are on the brink of a major climatological break, and we probably caused it (but that's not definite) and it's questionable whether we can do anything about it at all. |
