Is your solution the Kyoto treaty?

No. The Kyoto Treaty is essentially useless. I favor James Hansen's Alternative Scenario, which advocates better controls on methane and black soot emissions (the latter would also aid health concerns in nations like India and China), and which expects CO2 emissions reductions via technological advances.

Ah, James Hansen. The man whose models on global warming didnt include the oceans. And since you support the use of models, why are you citing a man who now says they are useless in predicting future climate change?

[William Terrell]

So you think human beings and civilization is responsible, instead of natural cycles. Do you have hard evidence that that is so, that would refute evidence found in tree rings and rock strata, and evidence of warming trends in relatively recent history when there was no technology to spew various gasses?

I don't know that I buy global warming. The same people forty years ago were predicting global freezing. And if there is, I don't know that I buy that it's caused by human beings. And even if it is, I can't say that it would be a bad thing. So, it is quite probable the correct remedy is to do nothing.
