I agree with this; but these people have not only jobs but careers that depend upon finding that GW is cause for drama. It is like financial planners selling investments -- it is pretty hard to get good advice from someone whose paycheck depends on it.

There are plenty of instances where entire communities of thought have been proven wrong years, decades or even centuries later; so there IS precedent.

The most sensible approach is clear: don't ignore the facts but don't knee-jerk, either. There is nothing happening here that can't be dealt with 50 or 100 years from now. If some emergent crisis appears I'm sure civilization can deal with it more effectively in the future than they could now.

What is certain is that it is dumb to invest trillions of dollars in "cures" for a problem that cannot be established to exist with some certainty.
