Name my talk to the American Geophysical Union--QUICK!

Contribute your idea! Comment on and rate others'! I've been invited to give a talk at the American Geophysical Union's Fall Meeting on communicating the science of environmental changes to the general public. Problem is, I've got 48 hours to submit the abstract, and I don't know what to call the talk. I would LOVE suggestions and collaborations and feedback and feuding (gentlemanly, of course) in the comments section on a title for my talk.

Others who will be sharing the stage and talking on the same subject: James Hansen, Michael Oppenheimer, and Naomi Oreskes. I feel like a giddy teeny-bopper at a rock concert!

I could always use the title of my book: "What's the Worst That Could Happen? A Rational Response to the Climate Change Debate," (it has the required colon for all academic titles), but I don't like it.

Thanks!

"Does it mean the mass slaughter of human beings"

nice job fear mongering,how hypocritical.typical accusing the left of scaring people on way, when the right also scares them one way. you only listen to people that share your political beliefs.

the brainwashee,you, believes everyone else has been brainwashed but never suspects himself. im saying this as a general blanket statement and its not just directed at you but most of us as well.

@stuntbaby63

tell me more about the latest FW FW FW conservative chain letter. keep on spouting off anecdotal examples to prove your point. did you hear about example X. yeah? well it disproves Y. look pal either shut up or back up your claims with solid evidence. also if global warming exists,shouldnt public-spirited people spread the word of why we should watch out for it? it will be funny to hear what you think the ulterior motives are behind global warming .

@Saltedkoshersalami Have you seen the promotional ad for the 10:10 Initiative? Well-meaning, die-hard believers of global warming confront the reality that some folks just don't share their Chicken Little views. So, as they seemingly accept the "deniers" with calm assurance that there's "No pressure" and "It's your choice" the 10:10 organizers press a red button in a black box and instantly blow up these bad eggs in a disgusting shower of blood and guts. (1010global)

Is that "progress" to you?

@Saltedkoshersalami wrote, "I'm for progress."

Well, I'm for progress, too! But what does the word mean? Does it mean bigger government? Does it mean an end to wealth production, free markets and human liberty? Does it mean the mass slaughter of human beings for the purpose of reverting to a simpler lifestyle without cars, factories, or any other eco-unfriendly product of human activity? What do you mean by "progress"? Pease define the word for me. Thanks.

@Saltedkoshersalami wrote, "its too bad you've cast off 'the whole science community'". I haven't. I fully trust and respect those scientists who have the guts to stand up to the bullies in power and say that all this Global Warming nonsense is a big hoax. Can't you see what's going on? Shouldn't you be suspicious? I am. Why aren't you? Why are you so eager to have some big intrusive gov't micro-manage our lives and rob us of our freedoms supposedly for the benefit of polar bears?

@Saltedkoshersalami How does any of what you wrote prove me wrong? What exactly IS your point...that Christianity isn't perfect? Anything placed in the hands of flawed humans will undoubtedly be flawed. You'll get no argument from me on that score. But if you believe that there would have been less evil and more good in the world had Christianity never been founded, then I would have to disagree with you.
