description: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/27102006/323/global-warming-cost-20 -percent-gdp-british-cabinet-told.html Quote: Global warming could cost 20 percent of GDP, British cabinet told LONDON (AFP) - Lack of action by the world over climate change could cost countries up to a fifth of their gross domestic product, a former World Bank chief economist told the British cabinet, The Independent reported. Nicholas Stern told Prime Minister Tony Blair and his cabinet colleagues on Thursday, in a preview of a report he is due to deliver on Monday on the economic consequences of climate change, that it would cost the world one percent of its annual GDP to fight off global warming. Doing nothing, however, would cost between five and 20 times that amount. The contents of Stern's report, commissioned by the British finance ministry, have been kept secret since being revealed to the world's environment ministers at a conference in Mexico earlier this month. "He left no one in any doubt that doing nothing is not an option ... And he stressed that the need for action was urgent," an unnamed civil service source told the newspaper. The Independent said that the finance ministery hoped Stern's report would turn the tide of public opinion in the United States, and dispute the American government's assertion that cutting carbon emissions was bad for economic growth. "Its biggest impact could be on public opinion in America, which is like turning around a tanker," an unidentified official said to the newspaper. Meanwhile, The Financial Times reported on Friday that the report would propose a large expansion in the market for trading carbon emissions in an effort to slow the growth of emissions around the world. Big polluters would be able to cut emissions to the level of credits they held, buy new credits in the market, or earn new credits by investing in carbon-efficient technologies in developing countries. Keep saying it's a natural cycle, Bush!

Even if it wouldn't do a thing to global warming, it would at least make the air you breath a bit purer, hence less deseases, hence less health care, hence less money wasted on that. You knew that health care is the biggest part of most government's budget? The ROI is positive in the long run, no matter how you turn it.

You can stop flooding if you build sea defences but as sea defences cost alot of money and the idiots building them never build them high enough or good enough they fail like what happend to that yank city...

description: Have Generations before us bothered with Global warming and tried to fix it? NO! Are Generations after us likely to fix it? No! Live life and enjoy it while you can. Scientists and Politicians can make any figure tell lies. They just have never seen it happening and cannot explain it so it has to be "Global Warming" caused by us, you and me. Its never caused by the larger companies because they will tell them where to go as a shutdown or reduction in output will make a decline in that companies wealth.

description: Global Dimming is another issue, Global Dimming is helping us by reflecting 10% of the sunlight back out, therefore making it less warmer (or hotter.. whichever one you prefer) on this planet. But it has it's own problems as well, such as polluted rain, and less rainfall (cause rainfall needs sun for it to rain, don't know why, I saw a movie on it)

Becomes cloud. And when there is a big enough build up of moisture on a certain point it will begin to rain. Without heat from sun rays it would slow the evaporation rate down.

description: We are all going to die one way or another. Cause of the approaches we can take to reduce Global Warming or Global Dimming will kill us. Don't forget, 3 Billion years ago, the average temperature was hotter then, then it is now. So I am trying to figure out, how did the heat die down when it was so hot. Maybe the movie "The Day After Tomorow" has some tight proof of how the planet can cool itself down without global dimming. We better find life on Mars, or else we are done for. P.S., if there are clouds on Mars, then it must mean there is water there?

description: My Two Cents... I DO beleive in Global warming-but I beleive its not as big as some people say it is. I think some people really over do it on the "WE'RE GOING TO DIE IF WE DON'T STOP!!". My other opinion here is that people are spending WAYY to much time saying "HERE IT COMES" then "How can we fix it?" Instead of pointing the finger-if we're really going to worry bout it, then we should at the very least fine some type of way to fix it!

description: Heh, I didn't intend for this to get into a serious discussion. I was referencing the idea that the reason there is evidence of water and rivers is that it was once habitable, and "we" ruined it, causing it to get into the state it is now. By settling, I mean acquiring the ability to sustain life (even by assisted means)
