I still want to know if AGW is occurring, and if it poses a significant threat to humanity.

From whom do you think you could reasonably expect to learn this information, with any degree of reliability? Stargate Command? NUMA? The UN? (But excuse me, I fall into parody with that last ...)

The current "scientific" fiasco is the best available to humanity. Under the circumstances, the only reasonable assumption is that "solutions that are most practical" will be produced by an unfettered free market of individuals who would like themselves and their assets to survive any potential environmental outcome.

Actually, no. The best available to humanity is found in the scientific literature, not in the politically-motivated way some folks are spinning a very few of the studies to support an otherwise untenable hypothesis. Some of this "best available" can be found HERE at CO2Science.org.

If I spent about a year digging into the science, I might be able to satisfy my own curiosity about AGW. That will not happen. At this point I don't trust those on either side of the debate to be honest and thorough, and I am fed up with gratuitous assertions.

So in answer to your question, I don't really expect to find that pony.
