The Topic of Climate Change

I've had several friends ask me how I feel about Climate Change. I guess being involved in Scientific Research makes my opinion intelligent or something like that, but I continuously try to formulate my own thoughts on the potential of drastic climate change and the ability for our own environment to adapt to these predicting changes. While I won't go in depth, I thought this was an interesting story to post.

The story discusses a possible option for carbon reduction through bioengineering of crops.

I'm waiting to further weigh in the outcome of the 2009 IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on March 8-10.

While I don't doubt that climate change is occurring and most likely an impact from human activities, there is still a major question how our environment can respond to the changes. I believe that micro-evolution should not be underestimated.
