Global warming?

There will probably always be more we don't know, than we do know. More knowledge is gooder.

One thing we do know, with a very high degree of certainty and as near unanimity as can be achieved, is that spewing billions of metric tons of man-made CO2 (from autos and coal-fired power plants) into the environment every year has NO positive impact.

A very few credible scientists believe the impact is negligible and the overwhelming majority believe it has an adverse impact.

There is no reason not to act in an economically sustainable manner and in a manner that reduces dependency on an old (and finite - particularly if limited to US reserves) technology, stimulates new, cleaner energy technologies and improved energy efficiencies....other than the objections of the affected industries with an investment in the status quo.

I have yet to see an argument for not acting now, other than "lets debate it more" even though we know there is nothing positive that can said about the excessive man-made CO2 emissions.
