There is a minority of baby-boomers who remained radical, and I am glad for it.

Personally, that's why I think my generation (gen Y)likes PETA so much because so many of us recognize that had people taken the radical stance they had more often, we would NOT BE IN THIS SITUATION.

I really place a lot of responsibility on the personal and political choices of the previous generation.

I give them respect for their accomlishments, but I place the blame on them as well. They deserve both.

Unfortunately, their gains may not have been radical enough.

I'd hate for AGW'er to be my doctor:

"is expected"

"Few of the more than two dozen"

You guys can't even get consensus in your own ranks.

Here's the Bailo Model Forecasts:

Radically sinking sea levels

Take that to the bank -- CHI-POO-PEE !!! (nod to Vern Fonk Auto Insurance)

I believe that like many other aspects of Climate Change this prediction will come true...."faster than expected."

We truly do not understand how positive feedback loops can cause rapid climate change. What is clear from ice core and sediment data is that climate regimes can change in as little as a decade. How that happens is not clear but it is clear that is has happened  in the past.

The place where you live can switch from rainy to dry or vice-versa in as little as ten years. If that can happen your seaside town could become flooded in the same period.

"We borrow environmental capital from future generations with no intention or prospect of repaying. They may damn us for our debt to them. We act as we do because we can get away with it: future generations do not vote; they have no political or financial power; they cannot challenge our decisions. But the results of the present profligacy are rapidly closing the options for future generations..."

The UN World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987 Stephen H. Schneider, Global Warming, p. 163.
