It's interesting, all the emotion this topic generates.

I'll tell you what's emotional. When people can't afford to fuel their cars or heat their houses or feed their families, then they do tend to get emotional.

I'll think you'll find as the above scenario becomes more and more prevalent, you'll find less and less concern for the well being of a few desert squirrels and baby penguins and theoretical "catastrophes" occurring 100 years down the road.

And as people become more aware of the fact that so called "solutions" to supposed "man made global warming" means incurring ever greater expenses and lowering of living standards, for what at most will be negligible effects on the global climate, then you'll find real emotion, and not of the sort that the AlGore red/greenie crowd will find pleasant...
