as i see it, global warming isn't really the problem (although public and media hysteria might argue with me), it's a symptom of a bigger issue; we are poisoning our planet. there are so many other signs of this poisoning in addition to global warming.
This is the heart of the matter - allowing ever-increasing amounts of pollution world wide is acting with a reckless disregard for our children's future. There is a lot of obfuscation along the lines that it is "unknown" what the exact specific impacts of this will be, whether global warming or other. If it is "unknown" whether spewing countless thousands of tons of pollutants into the air will harm our climate and/or ecology, then "unknown" means a huge risk. We don't drive around in our cars where it "unknown" whether there will be a continuation of the road around the corner. In most areas of policy, "unknown" is recognized as an urgent need the mitigate risk, not as a cloak for complacency.
