A pretty accurate and useful conclusion. I would add that technology will also tell us the extent (if any) of the problems and how to solve them cheaply. An example solution is biomass (ocean or land). Currently both are poorly modeled (if at all), but can have profound effects on climate.

I think the sun has pretty profound effects on climate stability in the world.

The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral crusade when it's really an engineering problem. The inconvenient truth is that if we don't solve the engineering problem, we're helpless.

This pretty much summarizes the problem and why liberals, hungry for more helpless victims have pledged their souls to their Global Warming God.

Right; like the technolgy of a cleaner, more fuel efficient gas engine. We will have gas engines in cars for at least 50 more years. Pollution just needs to be curtailed at a reasonable level, with emphasis in the bigger cities that have smog alerts. This 'Inconvenient Truth' crap is just a bunch of lefty do-gooder nonsense. BTW, when do politicians not grandstand?

Still, politicians want to show they're "doing something."
