My two cents:
1. We do not have a baseline measurements sufficient to have any level of accuracy in our predictions.
2. Our environmental sciences are far too nascent to even get close to understanding an issue this complex.
3. The level of fear with which one reacts to this type of proclamation is commensurate with how dire it sounds. Unfortunately, one's reaction is also inversely proportionate to the amount of education, self or otherwise.
Ustwo, while I happen to agree with, you DO realize telling people that they lack the background to argue with you is a great way of ensuring they won't listen to you. You get more flies with honey...
