If we don't know how the climate is changing and how, or even if, our activities are effecting it, what exactly are we supposed to plan? Do you think we should grind our economic activity to a halt, just in case? Maybe that would make things worse and not better! Or maybe it would have no effect at all, and we should concentrate our energies on being able to adapt to whatever changes are coming down the pike.

Any totalitarian but Bush eh?

I'd would rather see some planned use of our dwindling resources. A world council on the best use of what we have.

I'd rather blow it all up than be a slave.

>>planned use of our dwindling resources<< As if our resources are matter of factly dwindling...ridiculous assumption not based on any facts.
Quite the opposite in reality.

150 years of inflation adjusted decline in commodity prices would be my first point of proof.
