On a lighter note, here's another take on the two sides arguing over
climate change and whether or not it is anthropogenic:

Reminds me of that quote from Karl Marx: "Philosophers have interpreted
the world in various ways, the point however is to change it." Which
brings us back to the original question - how do we change the way most
of the world currently goes about its business in a more ecologically
sensible direction?
As I have no simple answer (many complex thoughts, perhaps...) allow me
to duck back into occasional eavesdropping mode in this conversation
under the excuse of having to deal with more immediate urgencies of the
looming end-of-semester rush of the life academic.
