In times past, I would have been in your camp. Lukewarm on the whole issue. However, I am old enough to remember the Coming Ice Age that was in vogue in the mid 70’s. When that was being written about, a list of solutions was pushed. These included, quit using fossil fuels, including coal and petroleum. Instead, use solar and wind instead for power generation. When they switched to Global Warming, imagine my surprise when the solutions were identical! The other red flag was that these wizards of smart gave us some dire predictions to watch out for, and not a single one has panned out. The poles still have ice, drought has not starved the planet and the hurricanes that were supposed to decimate the east coast have not materialized. When they can’t get it right in the near term, why should I trust that they have it right in the long term? And why should I gamble the worlds economies that they will.

I pretty much agree with you. I remember the global cooling in the 70s. I don't think I ever really got over the 'killer bees' coming up from the south (not the southern part of the country). I was a kid then, and between the bees and global warming, I was really scared.

Same old, same old, it seems.
