One of the reasons I read other people's blogs

I encountered these interesting discussions of environmentalism in SF.


In fact, I see I came in at the wrong end of the Puchalsky discussion:

Given what people on metafilter think of me, I'd to clarify that I fall into the "anthropogenic climate change is real, nothing will be done about it, some degree of change is therefore inevitable, only realizable strategies involve adapting to the new conditions" camp. Granted, easier to do this hundreds of meters above sea level in an area that very well may not be desertified.

The quotation from Adam Roberts' "Anti-Coperniucus" reminded me a lot of Inherit the Earth

I don't know what other people on MeFi think of you, but I think your the tops.

Thank you! But apparently I come across as an anthropogenic climate change denier.

For people who don't regularly read you, some of the stuff you say and link to makes you come across as one of the non-denialist Libertarian contrarians whose response to global warming is "any kind of adaptation to climate change and reduction in profligate energy consumption will reduce the developed world to a poverty-stricken hellscape: we can only sit on our hands until Private Sector Genius creates a magic non-polluting free energy source!"

To be fair, James *has* said pretty much exactly that, repeatedly, usually while linking to something that demonstrates exactly how dumb it is.
