I am just waiting for one of the usual extremists to come along and claim 325 million affected is the worst attrocity in mankind history, and in some way its largely due to the Soviets with their heavy industry. It seems a big enough number for the nutters to go after, and 300,000 a year, well multiply that by 60 years and you come up with 18 million. Wow we can blame Stalin for anything, the multiplier is a great perverting thing. Shall we do the same with failed health care in the US and say, that roughly 300,000 have died each year due to American health care policy, hey multiply that by 100 years and you get a 30 million US policy attrocity, totally absurd, but something I am sure the number extremists could have a go at. Why not even add the whole cumulative deaths for mankind, from the beginning, and attribute those to God, making people suffer through death. He would top them all as the greatest tyrrant. Laughable yes, this type of reasoning that's in all extremists - frightening! Climate is very important, but don't leave it to the number extremists going for headlines!

When will the climate change happen? I've heard from the fortune teller in Indonesia the end of the world because of climate change is at 2012! Is that true?

Rahmad - and the truth, climate change has,is and will always happen. Its a fact of life beyond the modeling tools of present scientists. They said the sea level would rise, but forgot to factor in the land rise at a faster rate than sea level rise, due to the weight of the glaciers reducing. There are always winners and losers in climate change.
