OK, I'll bite. What are these good reasons to go with green energy? Why not list them?

Scientists back in the 70s were screaming global cooling!
Now for the past several years people have been talking about the disappearing ozone and “global warming”.
It seems slightly reminiscent of the Chicken Little scenario: “The sky is falling! The sky is falling!.”
Bottom line... the earth goes in cycles.
Wasn’t this past Summer cooler than normal? Not a word in the media.
Here are examples of some of the articles available at the site:
Next decade ‘may see no warming’

I will preface this by saying that Global Warming, and in particular anthropogenic GW, is utter hooey. Having said that, it is consistent to say that Antarctica is both warming and seeing increased ice/snow coverage. By and large, Antarctica is a desert, and receives almost no precipitation. This is due in large part to the atmosphere: it is so cold there that the air simply can’t hold moisture. Warmer air will contain more moisture, and consequently will produce more precipitation, thus boosting the ice coverage. It seems counterintuitive, until you understand that there is a lower bound to the temperature at which snow can occur.
