And also that killing people willy nilly is evil. That's even in the 10 Commandments.

As well as global warming, and our need to mitigate it. In fact, JPII also spoke about that as early as 1990. So no excuse whatsoever this late in the game not to do so.

((And don't give me that ridiculous spiel that they are only referring to natural climate change.....bec then they'd also have to speak about the dangers of earthquakes, or how it gets dark at night due to the sun setting, etc. They are into addressing moral issues and the moral side of issues. Why would they waste time speaking about some "natural" issue?))

Yes the direct killing of innocent people is evil. Whether this has any bearing here only begs the question.

And we have already discussed this. You have not shown how, if or when AGW will kill people or what we can do that will actually stop the "killing" if it is going to happen. Since the western governments have been trying to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere for 20 years or so, but have failed in either lowering it or slowing its growth, (though temps haven't risen)

In fact we cannot say that some warming will not be good for people. We can however say that the government's attempts to control climate change has had drastic and sometimes fatal effect on people. From loosing jobs or having to pay more for products in more prosperous countries, to people literally dying in 3rd world countries from food prices skyrocketing or being made refugees or dying from military action to prevent them from farming the land to feed themselves.

This isn't the best article/link, but these are real people who have died, not your hypothetical people.
