So what you are saying is that you have an unfalsifiable theory. No matter what evidence is put forth in contradiction, the AGW believers will just say "the models predict wild fluctuations

The future will always be, to a degree, unknowable. That sed, predictability increases as data comes in.
There is more than enough data to date to suggest the reality of MMCC, the only real questions now are wot's the best response to it and on how do we best ensure a global response to a global problem?
Spud sees it as a Catch 22 situation at present. Because there are so many pollutants in the atmosphere the worst of the GW/CC has yet to occur. Continuing to pollute is not a solution and cleaning up will cause a further acceleration of an already vicious cycle.
We are already passing on a planet much diminished from the one we were born on and the trending is not positive.
BTW... I am all for being eco-friendly, but there hasn't been enough evidence of AGW (and quite a bit of demonstrable fraud and hysterical hype) to warrant breaking the bank or the tax-payers to achieve it in such a rush.
Like any crisis there are many unethical people out there trying to make a quick buck off of it and they are adding fear mongering and alarmism and little else to the debate beyond scare tactics and hyperbole.
Zat aint one of them people in Spud rarely humble opinion.
He's bombastic but he's sincere.
Al Gore, otoh, recently told Obama he wasn't interested in taking on the challenge of being Enviromental Czar for his admin which took him down a few notches in Spud's estimation.
Willing to stand on the sidelines and boo but not get in the game for real?
WTF?
The whole Carbon Credit thing stinks to high heaven too by Spud's lights.
The existence of a global warming denial industry funded by BigOil and other sorporate polluters in order to keep this debate raging is undeniable.
But there is hope yet, replacing the lobbyist for some of the worst polluters of the planet with people who are passionate about doing their job over at the EPA will be a good start at least.
The meme that going green is "too expensive" is the corporate polluter's latest level of cognitive dissonance fer the unwashed masses. Actually that's their most sophisticated propaganda to date that has supplanted the "GW aint real" and the "GW aint MM" canards. Glad to see you've graduated to their highest level of BS.
That's progress right there. ;)
We are gonna hafta walk a fine line now, a balance point between doing wot's right and doing wot's affordable.
Either we walk that line carefully or we fall off the rope.
Life is choice.
Really gotta go now.
Be Well.
