Oh, I can't, tivo... not as someone "firmly in the grip of the snow belt", at least not for the next couple of generations.

Nah, in the near future it will be the less developed world that will suffer from climate change... crop losses, desertification, drought, flooding, etc. etc. and start dying in the millions... or mass emigrating to the more developed world. But that's fine with you, right? Not your problem.
Correct. Not my problem. Furthermore, all problems the third world is experiencing now.

I don't see anything there that will affect me. Rising sea levels? All of the Netherlands is under sea level, I'm sure we could do the same for places like NYC. Hurricanes? I live in the north.

This is the problem environmentalists are going to have. They're so concerned with talking about changes they've forgotten to tell us why we need to change.

You're such a master debater, t: so convincing. It's like demanding "proof" that you'll come to harm if you go for a sex holiday to Bagdad. (Jeez, where should I start?)

Global warming "alarmists" include the vast majority of the scientific community, people -- believe it or not -- who are even better informed than you are.

But don't worry, you too will wake up sooner or later.
So I ask for proof, and you make trite statements and insults. Is that supposed to convince me? I'll take your answer to mean "No, I have no proof of anything that will harm you. As you were."
