re: I'm not arguing for climate change... I'm arguing against quickly taking specific massively expensive steps to possibly counteract one possible form of climate change. I'm not at all sure that climate change is "man made". But if it is, then the logical assumption is that continuing our current behaviour will at least continue climate change and probably accelerate it. "Massively expensive" would better define the results of climate change than the efforts to decrease the use of fossil fuels. I'm for conservation and energy efficiency because I think any investment will pay off in spades, from both an economic and political perspective. Global warming and pollution in general are not my primary concerns. But if GW is a real man made thing, it would be a hell of a side benefit. re: Taking less expensive and intrusive steps now, or possibly taking the requested massively expensive steps if and when more evidence is found to support the more extreme climate change theories being true, could be things I would support. They tell us that would be too late.
