SameOldStory, to be clear, I wasn't attributing the point of view of Fallen Angels or the reviewer of Holdren's book to you. I was simply saying that 1 - while the scenario in Fallen Angels makes for an entertaining story, it probably doesn't have much bearing on whether or not current climate change concerns are well-founded, so I wasn't sure why it was being brought up in this thread, and 2 - the quotes you posted from the Amazon reviewer seemed highly charged and of questionable accuracy based on information I've reviewed in formal studies as well as my personal experience with children from China and with people I have met while in China. Perhaps a quote from Holdren's book would be more helpful to this discussion? Or some information about Holdren's scientific qualifications?
The remark about respecting multiple points of view wasn't directed at you at all-- just a "play nice" reminder to several participants who seemed to be getting a little worked up about the topic.
