They admit that the ice on the south pole is increasing. I just heard some scientific experts saying they were over confident in their computer models and they are not sure of the effect of carbon dioxide increases.

I believe we are affecting the earths climate but we really don’t know what the future holds.

I’ve been reading that many scientists and policy-makers have been saying that the days of economic growth will have to come to an end to save the planet. So why the concern over economic losses from climate change?
