A few points apparently missing from the discussion. First, the Too Big To Jail Banks ( like Goldman Sachs) want global warming ideas to be true because they want to parasitically feed off of carbon trading Markets. Nuclear power has a financial interest, too – so it’s not all ‘Exxon’ on one side.
Speculation is NOT “settled science” – A past record of temperatures can be fact but extrapolating into the future is speculation – and all the more so as Various prominent warming predictions are falsified. Hansen has been proved wrong about temperatures and British children still witness snowfalls (despite contrary predictions). The climate warming discussion would be greatly improved if it’s enthusiasts stopped lying and being deceptive – or at least stopped UNSCIENTIFIC Wild speculations in public. Even Republicans admit that climate changes over time – “climate change deniers” is wrong. Blaming war in Syria on climate change is Irresponsible as are speculative gloom and doom about species ( who apparently cannot adapt?). My biggest fear is that NO NEW ENERGY Source emerges beyond what we have and we are enslaved by fanatics who deprive us of bathing (the idiot King of Sweden) and heat and light. I use a wood stove, BTW, and I have solar panels and some feeble battery backup.
