My position is that we all better hope Global Warming is one big fat steaming pile of bullshit, because nothing that is currently being considered will have any measurable impact on the warming. Even if the entire first world shuts down all of it's emissions, China, India, and the rest of the developing world are about to start pumping so much carbon into the atmosphere that it will make us all shit. They will never sign on to Kyoto or any other emissions controls because they want what we have and nobody's going to tell them they can't have it. So, basically, all this "green" crap we see coming out of politicians is nothing but a cynical attempt to capitalize on the issue in order to acquire more power and money. There's nothing we can do as of now, so sit back and hope for the best. But let's not shutdown industrial society and progress in vain. In fact, progress, and the technology it could produce down the line, is probably our only hope if this is for real.
