"The reason why the polar ice is thinning has room for lots of belief systems and the greenhouse effect does indeed seem to be a place for religious fervour. I think we are saving the planet from turning into an ice ball. Greenhouse effect zealots believe we are turning the planet into a baking desert with melted ice and flooded coastal plains, maybe even to runaway greenhouse status with everything fried, or, because of the oceans, steamed."

I think you need to read a little more on The Greenhouse Effect.

Few are worried about a hot environment with everything fried, or steamed. The major worries now are for extreme localized climate change with gradual overall global warming, a mini ice age for Europe, due to a shut down of the Gulf Stream is the present most recognized likely thought outcome.
