The Young Turks

So because the last ice age ended, there's no way that we might be polluting the air enough to cause the earth's average temperature to rise to a point that could have consequences costing us trillions upon trillions of dollars and billions of lost lives?  He's saying that we can't do that because the last ice age ended before industrialization?  He's saying that we aren't doing that because the last ice age ended before industrialization?

Savage's argument is fallacious (to be polite).

The case has been made and accepted by thousands and thousands of people whom we recognize as experts in the sciences involved.  It's up to Savage to refute it, and he'd better have more than that stupid argument.

Sure, they need to learn more about the exact mechanisms involve in global climate change.  They're still trying to figure out what all of the consequences will be.  And, frankly, I admit that the science involved in those issues is far to deep for me to understand.  But those scientists are telling us that human activities are a big contributor to climate change, and that the consequences if we don't clean up our mess will be more expensive than if we do.

But all that  ;Savage knows about the environment is what he learned while studying some folk remedies, and no reputable scientific institution anywhere in the world is going to give him the time of day for his hatred of studies confirming the fact that global climate change is occurring and can have devastating consequences.  Besides, it's a sure bet that he's completely emotionally unbalanced.  I wouldn't put any trust in his judgments -- unless you want to be classified as completely looney tunes yourself.
