I was around 10 years ago, and 20 years ago, and was paying attention... No one I'm aware of said anything about 10 years back then, maybe some doomsday quack, but it wasn't the consensus.
The consensus back then was 100 years per most, some thought 50, but there was no agreement on anything close to 10 years. The scientist were wrong, they over estimated by about 80 years on most accounts. Their estimates did not take into account that it would speed up so drastically.
I said my peace, doesn't matter if anyone believes it or not as it no longer makes any difference. I'm not trying to change anyone's opinion as its no longer relevant.
But mark my words, all the deniers will be changing their tune.. in 10 years, it will be so obvious your daily choices will be based on it.
17 of the 18 hottest years on record have occurred in the last 20 years.
Here's something funny to consider, this has to do with how irrationally people see this issue: Up in the postings above, we have what amounts to accusations of falsified information by corrupt government funded scientists. The general idea with these accusations is that its a money scam and that someone is getting rich off it. I think the popular propaganda punching bag is Al Gore.
And yet, I had just stated in very clear and unambiguous terms that the government actually edited the report to make the science less alarming. They couldn't fudge the numbers because that would be clear fraud, so they changed the language because that's far more subjective and they know that the vast majority of people don't know how to read the numbers or understand them. (People would never go to casino's or play lotto if they did)
I hope I don't have to spell out the irony for anyone.
So ya, once again, +1 on buy more ammo.
