    The BBC are our only hope!
    What people are talking about is reducing climate change, altering the way things are going at the moment. But if it is changing anyway, what is our attitude to that? If the polar ice caps are going to melt anyway, in thousands of years, should we be investing in technology to stop that natural process? Presumably keeping the environment static would put the brakes on evolution. Do we want to, should we want to do that?

    well, one school of thought is that the pesky human race will evolve and adapt to it's environment..

    Personally I don't think we should try to change the climate by using technology, because the environment has always dictated, it's a bigger thing. If the technology was available to make significant changes then we could potentially be "playing God" which then becomes a theological debate.
