Meanwhile, huge debates still rage in the scientific community over how serious a problem global warming might turn out to be.

The discussion over global climate change is often hampered by a lack of focus. I just wanted to take this opportunity to highlight this one sentence from your clip.

The legitimate debate, as opposed to some of the stuff we see posted on SI, is not about whether we can expect global climate change or whether human activity is accelerating it. The debate is about how serious a problem that will or won't be. The matter of Kyoto is the international subset of the political debate atop the climate change debate. Bundling all of that into a simplistic pro and anti environment food fight is unhelpful.
