Quote by: xyzer Cancer does happen naturally! People get lung cancer who have never smoked a ciggie? It is an abnormal cell reproduction type thing.! Admittedly over exposure to carcinogens can result in an increased chance of the lung cells cells going awry?

That is exactly my point, human influence can increase cancer rate.

Quote by: xyzer People can choose to stop smoking without personal costs or even inconvenience, and reduce their chances of cancer. Can humans reduce their energy use without concurrent costs and inconvenience?

In some cases, you will save money in the long term because you are LESS wasteful. Is that something you have trouble understanding?

Quote by: xyzer Add to this the fact that natural causes have varied climate cycles for millions of years and I think we have a problem? I repeat thes so called solvers of our climate changes ignore the fact that climates major influences are natural and not affected by human behavior. They postulate, using computer simulations and correlations that C02 is the culprit and then jump on that bandwagon..virtually ignoring the simplest, least cost, alternative..adapt using modern technology?

They haven't ignored anything that I am aware of, can you cite a specific example?
Don't you see the irony in your statements about adaptation using modern technology? We can lower our energy consumption through use of more efficient equipment!
So the question is, what will cost more? Becoming more energy efficient, or adapting to climate change? According to the Stern report, it is the former.
