Does that matter to you? If so, why? Seems to me that if one is presented with an emergency, one must deal with it, whether the scribes that wrote the Bible foresaw it, or not. Best wishes, 2RM.

Whether one is denied the use of one's land by landmines or because there is no rain seems a moot point to me. Either way, the result is hunger. Best wishes, 2RM.

I hope we'll get there eventually, but my judgment at this point is that there is way more discussion to go, first. That's not altogether surprising. Saving the world is a big topic. Best wishes, 2RM.

As I understood the news (my primary source is Radio 4) the problem is not an influx of immigrants, but simply that the current contract is insufficient to cover the dentist's costs. Best wishes, 2RM.

My country - the UK - has banned the use of landmines. Yours has not. So don't lecture me on landmines. Best wishes, 2RM

People are not mice. The reason the poor have large families is the precarious nature of their lives. Best wishes, 2RM.

The fact that you need to resort to hyperbole (Climate Nazis) makes me wonder if you actually have a rational argument, at all. You might try to cite a case of such a diabolical crime against humanity. If it survives scrutiny, it could restore your tattered credibility, somewhat. Best wishes, 2RM.

I agree corruption is a problem in many parts of the world. But I do not think it to be an insoluble problem. Best wishes, 2RM.

The quickest and most humane way to reduce the population is to educate the poor, and particularly women. As has been proven in Kerala, India. It is what Europe and America have done, also. 'Til that happens globally, what do you think we should do? Let them starve? Best wishes, 2RM.

I'm no great fan of Paul. And giving a Biblical reference is really quite easy: Book, chapter and verse(s) suffice. We've got the book (Romans), all we need now is chapter and verse. Best wishes, 2RM.

When the rains stop and agriculture fails there will be no more pressing issue to deal with. Best wishes, 2RM.

References, please. I don't read the Gospels, that way, at all. Best wishes, 2RM.

I have to say, I am disappointed in you all thus far. You all may not like to admit it, but the fact is, the science is in and inescapable. Climate change is happening, and happening now, as witnessed by the shrinking polar ice-caps and the steady retreat of the worlds glaciers. Meanwhile, none...

It could have been worse. I might have told you what I really thought. But in an attempt to keep this discussion civil, I will merely point out that my comment was relevant to our bone of contention. Ad hominems are not. Best wishes, 2RM.

Fortunately we don't seem to have many such phoney experts over here in Europe. Best wishes, 2RM.

It wasn't an ad hominem. Ad hominems are when one chooses to focus on, say, a character flaw irrelevant to the argument in an attempt to discredit one's antagonist. Best wishes, 2RM.

Ho hum. If you prefer to live in an alternative reality of your own invention, there really isn't much I can do for you. Best wishes, 2RM.

It is interesting to notice the cynicism and contempt ordinary Americans have for experts in their fields. You may have your reasons, but I doubt they would withstand critical scrutiny. Best wishes, 2RM.

Precisely. The variation between an expected cold period, and the exceptional heat we are experiencing, is climate change in a nutshell! Best wishes, 2RM.

As I understand the situation, it is not methane from cows, but CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels that is the major threat. Best wishes, 2RM.
