Inevitable. Back in the seventies, I worked for a while selling textbooks to post-secondary institutions. One of the texts was on plate tectonics; I recall vividly the fulminations of one professor against tectonics, which he saw as bad science, verging on heresy. Remember when the first studies showed a probabilistic relationship betwen cancer and smoking? Those studies made headlines in the sixties. Additional information has only supported the original hypothesis. It's taken half a century to eke out any progress. Mankind has a global addiction to fossil-fuel energy; change will come hard. The debate around evidence will escalate. The quasi-political task of achieving consensus in the scientific community will be closely scrutinized, and harshly criticized. At this point, global warming theory isn't proven or accepted fact. Absent any other global upheaval, translating probability into action (never mind dealing with the consequences of what we've already done) will be the central preoccupation of humanity for the next century or three. IMO, anyway. Jim
