Here's something else he didn't think about: Did the increase in population cause the warming, or did the warming allow an increase in population growth?

When it comes to uncertainty on the scale of supposed global warming, and with the impact the proposed actions will have on humans and the miniscule impact that they are supposedly to have on the climate, it would be rash to take any further action. It's rubbish to think that we have a "major" impact when we only contribute 3-4%. And the evidence is to the contrary that it's caused by CO2; it is the warming that drives the CO2, not the other way 'round.

I am surprised at the inaccuracies in Dr. Pollack's presentation. For instance it is well understood that the Mt. Kilimanjaro's glacier is diminishing in size due to reduced precipitation. There are in fact a broad number of glaciers world-wide that have increased in size over the past 50 years. Sea ice has increased the past two years. Sea level rise has not yet increased at dramatically higher rates. A visit to archeological sites of ancient port cities in Greece, Turkey and Italy reveals that ocean levels were far higher thousands of years ago than they are today.

Contrary to Dr. Pollock's reasoning it is irresponsible to drive energy and food costs higher inhibiting social progress and contributing to increased misery for the billion people on the planet living at the margin on the basis of climate theory that fails to significantly demonstrate any climate change beyond natural variability.
