"Is it occurring?" to

"it's occurring but how much is due to man?"


How 'bout the next step being "it's occurring and just maybe it's positives outweigh the negatives". Milder winters, lengthened growing seasons (larger crop yields), more rain to alleviate water shortages, etc...

In any event, short of shutting down the global economy, CO2 emissions will increase in the coming decades, no matter how much wailing and caterwauling takes place. There are simply no magic energy bullets that will offer realistic alternatives to replace carbon based fuel sources any time in the near or intermediate future.

If one believes that global warming is both "bad" and "solely human caused" (which I certainly don't) then the only practical way to deal with rising CO2 emissions is something along the lines of this (which is eminently practical and reasonable and yet gets zero press)..

Of course global warming is political (and getting to be hysterically so). And it's no wonder that the topic has become divorced from objective science, because the louder that all the "experts" squawk about the impending end of the world (Al Gore style), the more grant money they get thrown at them.

And then there's the matter of cows...
