As I said, it's neither 100% sure that global warming due to human activity is occurring, nor 100% sure that it is not.

If we are wrong, you will be "forced" to drive vehicles with "unnecessarily" high gas mileage.

If you are wrong, the consequences are much more severe--though they probably won't arrive til after we are dead--so perhaps that doesn't bother you.

However, it's no secret what the prudent and hence "conservative" choice would be in this cost-benefit analysis--and it's not the Bush-apologist chosen course of inaction, here seen in the familiar cloak of studying the problem until the above-cited 100% requirement is met.
