  We are well past the tipping point, human helped or not, Bush acknowledged or not, and it’s much too late for reducing emissions to prevent huge sea rise and Gulf Stream shutdown. When those happen, emissions will drop through lessened economic activity. We could prepare, by moving inland and also planting, planting, planting. Both things would be good for economies, just need credit.

  When titanic glaciers melt or slide from land to sea, the earth flexes from the weight now dispersed. Earthquakes, tsunamis and lava flows result. This has happened many times. This is decades old information but is not mentioned in Inconvenient Truth nor stressed by Amsterdam based Greenpeace, California based Sierra Club, anyone anywhere, including those who cache the 2 articles below.
  We are not in the same boat as the big boys, who want global warming and deliberately encourage it. They point out we’ll now have a Northwest Passage, the unicorn of shipping, and buy property in Colorado. They also sold the worldwide port operations of the Penninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company to Dubai. City boys stick the yokels.
  Don’t be confused by the motives of relatively small businessmen, such as Amana, 2nd largest U.S. air conditioner company which wrote to Bush administration in 2001 that 30% more efficient central a.c. unit regulations put in place by Clinton were no problem. WTO level is different. Remember that Standard Oil sold gas and additives to Germany through intermediaries during WW2.
  That some small earthquakes nowadays were leftovers from glacier weight accumulated over millenia then dispersed 10,000 years ago is standard information. I believe I remember it from Earth Science in 8th grade in Buffalo (1966-7). But with all my internet research on West Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier etc. sliding, I never thought of weight removal implications, nor did I see any mention of such until the Ottawa Citizen 7/3/06 piece
  “Climate change could cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, scientists say” by Dennis Bueckert.
  (’Could” as in “Gravity could cause unsupported things to fall.)

  We act as hypnotized.
  Why would people arguing for Kyoto etc. not bring up that earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis result when ice slides from land to sea, and that they last a long time?
  Combine that with L.A. Times “Greenland’s Ice Sheet Is Slip-Sliding Away” Robert Lee Hotz 6/25/06.
  http://www.truthout.org/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi/61/20733
  Starts off “Gripping a bottle of Jack Daniels between his knees … ” and includes information of Greenland possibly being 3 islands under the 2 miles thick ice, so the center area is 1000′ below sea level (numeral from other source).There is no discussion of the sea water thus running under and up into the glaciers, but there is a lot about the drill-like holes, produced in weeks below the unblemished surface, allowing meltwater down to the bedrock and so to the waiting sea. Note the increased seismic activity at the end and ponder implications. How’s West Antarctica doing under its unblemished surface?
  Reduced ice weight produces earthquakes.
  Earthquakes move ice.
  Repeat.
  Many, many choruses.
  Note that our leaders, including environmentalists, journalists and celebrities, have been ignoring these inevitabilities in their communications with us.
  Note that in the 6th century Justinian’s great historian, Procopius, wrote of yellow dust in the sky that gendered famines, plagues and decisive wars. Lesser European plus Chinese, Japanese and Mayan sources concur. The post Arthurian Wasteland is a hint of this, but otherwise we’ve forgotten that climate changes have serious consequences. (Keys, Catastrophe, Random House, o.p. & expensive now though it went to at least 4 printings, available digitally via Amazon for $9.95, and searchable free for key words like Procopius, plague, slavery and famine to find a couple of pages at a time.).
  Note that cavalry men, filled with love for men & horses, ordered cavalry charges against well emplaced machine guns repeatedly from 1914 until at least June 1918, and in 1926 Brit. Field marshall Haig wrote “aeroplanes and tanks are only accessories to the man and the horse, and I feel sure that as time goes on you will find just as much use for the horse - the well-bred horse - as you have ever done in the past.” (Ellis, Social History of the Machine Gun, Johns Hopkins U. Press, in print and searchable on Amazon).
  All visible are in denial, or pretend to be so in likeness to the rest of us.
  For more on subject google “Global warming policy is not complicated”, plushtown, “furry logick”. (Last is stuffed animal cartoons on subject.) E-mails saying convincingly why earthquakes under ice are not inevitable very welcome.

  We are facing a incrediable challenge here! If we can only get the wealthy and the rich to understand that if we don’t act upon the climate change that they have guarenteed themselves along with their own family that there will be no future left for them to enjoy what they have rooted for themselves! WE must not give up let alone lose courage! My prayers are all with you! Thank you for standing up to our government!

  Actually, the VERY rich, the tippy-top, do understand, and buy mountain land by the Denver Airport and elsewhere.

  Everyone else follows the Upton Sinclair line quoted in Inconvenient Truth “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”
