					<description><![CDATA[Pepsi_dude,

Your links merely show people dismissing ideas (notably all based on media reports - it is not clear to what extent those are grounded in *academic* reality) without providing any evidence to the contrary.

The one about cougar attacks is the most obvious, as it has been known for centuries that an increase in prey generally results in an increase in predators. If at the same time humans are encroaching on the same living area, as the scientist in the National Post mentioned, you increase the chance of human-predator contact. This century-old knowledge is rebutted on the moonbattery site with...derisive remarks, rather than evidence. It is also notable that climate change is only mentioned in the title. The scientist himself calls it &quot;natural variation&quot;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[John Mashey&#039;s link isn&#039;t up to date. One of the parties behind the new government was against subsidizing Lomborg, so he doesn&#039;t have financial backing, and his Global Warming Isn&#039;t Serious Enough To Do Anything About It organization will not be returning to Denmark.

Despite Lomborgs lack of academic credentials, he has an image – gay, informal – that makes him useful. 

Off topic, but related: In a recent interview, failed HP CEO Carly Fiorina acknowledged climate change while declaring her fealty to coal. Unfortunately, the interviewer didn&#039;t know enough to ask the necessary follow-up questions.

					<description><![CDATA[I may be wrong, but I have the impression that Lomborg gets more visibility out of book writing than peer reviewed studies. His books don&#039;t make him any more of an academic but they do avoid all that nasty criticism by one&#039;s peers prior to publication.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Pepsi Dude, thanks for the links.

Indeed, changes in wildlife distribution and behavior have resulted form climate change. There is at least one entire journal devoted to this (broad) topic. The change i cougar distribution is one example of many.  

Changes in the supply of foods and other negative effects on agriculture are a big deal.  This is real and important.  

You happened to pick what sound like silly assertions, but they are valid assertions and they are only itty bitty tiny bits of the much larger problem.  

Nice technique, there Pepsi-guy!  Pointing out that global warming isn&#039;t real or important by pointing out evidence it is real and important but doing so in such a way that makes you look like a whiny baby.  Thanks for the excellent messaging.]]></description>
