Well of course we are - everyone does. But are we all going to die of global warming? Lovelock thinks so, and so does a member of Royalty: we are "all going to die like the dinosaurs and another species was going to take over": to find out who said this, check the comments at Diplomatic incident.

A few days ago, I complained again about the relative lack of science books in the New York Times "Notable Books of 2008" list. Yesterday, one of the big stories was CNN axing its entire science unit, such as it was, which drew comments from lots of blogs (and more whose links I can't be bothered…
When BEST first came out I said it was boring, because it just said what everyone knew already "Summary: the global temperature record is just what we thought it was". There was some soap opera thrown in for fun, but that didn't affect the science.
But now (New Global Temperature Data Reanalysis…
Okay, I like Rolling Stone. As a drummer, it's kind of protocol. And James Lovelock is an interesting character - the very kind of fellow that I'd probably keep in good company were we of the same generation. I like those intelligent out-of-the-box types with big ideas. That said, I'm seriously…
No. But that's apparently not enough to keep some people from making the claim.
There's a story that's making the rounds on some right wing blogs that John Holdren said, at his confirmation hearing, that he thinks that 1 billion people will die as a result of global warming by 2020. So far, that…

Luna the cat: in his struggle for insanity monopoly and primacy, William has a tough competition from the UN boss, among millions of others.

Would you stop saying that!
Lubos, my dear, you really need to learn to distinguish between "humanity is going to go extinct" and "continued drought in Africa is going to trigger more wars over resources". There is a difference apparent there to any thinking person.
Andy's comments are for the birds.
There is a difference in details but there is no difference in the basic fact that both assertions can only be said by a lunatic. If you doubt that there's no link like that, click at "scientific papers agree" at
