Subject: RE: BS: Where's the Global Warming
"None of this means we should burn fossil fuels with abandon. There are excellent reasons to limit emissions and switch to cleaner fuels, including an estimated 750,000 annual pollution deaths in China, the potential to create jobs at home instead of enriching nasty regimes sitting on oil wells, the need to provide cheap sources of power to the world's poorest regions, and the still-probable threat that global warming is underway. At the moment, however, certainty about how fast, and how much, global warming changes the earth's climate does not appear to be one of those reasons."

I agree 100%

What I disagree with is that the methods promoted by Gore, Pachauri and company, the global warming fat cats will be effective in making any significant difference.

We should do everything that is economically feasible to reduce energy use and pollution, regardless of the issue of global warming.
