global worming I like that term. Can I use it? Earth could become like Arrakis, the desert planet in the Dune series of books. We could all get rich harvesting the lucrative spice, Melange.

Remember Carl Sagan and the Kuwaiti oil wells burning? "It could be the worst ecological disaster man has ever known".
BZZTT. Nuclear Winter is hogshiznit.

...using modern, vastly improved climate models ...Would these be the modern, vastly improved climate models that predicted the horrendous 2006 Atlantic Hurricane Season?

Didn't Carl Sagan assert that if the Iraqis torched the Kuwaiti oil wells in 1991 that "nuclear winter" was sure to follow?

Not at Al Gore's estate. I will assume they will be nice and toasty.

LOL!
The solution to Global Warming is at hand for all of humanity, if we just allow Islamics, failed communists and fascist dictatorships, access to about 100 nuclear weapons!
Of course, we will have to beam a signal that simultaneously explodes them all in place, in order for the rest of the world to live happily ever after....

The spice that comes from a dangerous source? (only started reading the first book in the series, and then stopped after a few chapters).

No, just "The Day After."
As the National Review asked, "Why did they have to make all the survivors look just like Senator Alan Cranston?"

Anyone remember Carl Sagan promising about the same thing if Saddam H. set the oil fields on fire? It's just always something isn't it?
To: DuncanWaring
Yes, he did, and I just posted that question before reading the thread. I'm never the first in these things, still I post before I read....looks like I'd learn.
To: BenLurkin
You can't expect too much of a population that watches "reality" tv and crap like the Academy Awards, and then believes what they see. It is really depressing.
To: Jedi Master Pikachu
The Fremen were the native inhabitants of Araqis. As i get it Fremen wasthe only free society of the whole federation. The spice came from a dangerous source because the gigantic worms protected it.
Oyez has not read all the books and is not considered to be an expert on the subject, but he did work a midnight shift with a pair of Dune scholars, who spoke of little else)
