And I think man-kind has been adopting, or adapting, to climate as long as man has walked the Earth. When it rains we find shelter. When it's hot, we get shade. When it's cold, we find a warm place to stay. Adaptation is the practical, affordable, utterly natural reflex response to nature when the planet is heating or cooling, as it always is."</i><br /><br />Hmmm ... uh ... we have a word for that ... <i>evolution</i>. Unfortunately, evolution doesn't care whether we or any species survives and it especially doesn't care if we live in poverty, suffer from disease (which mostly involves <i>other</i> organisms adapting) or die in large numbers from famine. We're the only ones who care about that and our elected leaders, having some control over it, are especially supposed to care.<br /><br />Evolution is only "the practical, affordable, utterly natural" solution to the problem of what we are doing to the planet because it will automatically eliminate the source of problem and will (eventually) clean up the mess we've made once we have been removed or rendered harmless.<br /><br />I wonder if his constituents know that Barton is such a raving "Darwinist"?John Pierethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336244849636477317noreply@blogger.com
