re: Monckton's conclusion: "Politicians, scientists and bureaucrats contrived a threat of Biblical floods, droughts, plagues, and extinctions worthier of St. John the Divine than of science."

I don't think anyone can argue that we are experiencing global warming. And the arguments are very good that it is a result of human activity. Am I 100% sure? Not yet. But there sure are a lot of very smart folks that are 100% convinced.

But that's beside the point. If global warming is the result of human activity, and if we continue that activity, then all the models show a catastrophic end. Especially since the carbon we are releasing into the atmosphere is increasing, not decreasing.

Are you 100% convinced it's not human activity? You want to take responsibility for that gamble? For all future generations?

We have the technology to move mostly away from carbon based energy, and eventually completely away from carbon based energy. It's not that hard, or painful.
