Actually I don't get very excited about global warming one way or the other. Most of the public discourse is just rhetoric. The scientists seem to be all over the place. Reminds me of economists arguing about money. The discussion is even worse at the layperson level. There the discussion reminds me of arguments between gold bugs and soft money advocates. You probably haven't wandered into one of those, but maybe would get my drift if I said it's sort of like listening to people argue about religion. Not much point. On one side is a skinny bike-riding vegan who "refuses to bring children into this world" and on the other side is a soccer mom who needs an SUV to haul the team, and they'll never meet eye to eye. In the meantime, nobody seems to care that the worst polluters are the Chinese. I do drive an SUV myself, but I also planted twenty new trees and have another hundred or so that I will never cut down, and am turning my suburban lawn into a butterfly garden, so I think it evens out.
