And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Calling out father, prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky..

I agree the planet is warming. It's the "why" that I am still ruminating on. What if this is "normal" for the 4.5 billion year old planet to go through periodically?
What if we try to curb CO2 and it has a harmful effect on plant life? What if we try to curb CO2 and then have volcanic activity?
I just think we need more time to consider this.

In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

Worse is the misappropriation of Samuel Becket's image for avatar. The attitude, ironically, just doesn't fit: Of his art, Beckett said: "I realized that Joyce had gone as far as one could in the direction of knowing more, in control of one’s material. He was always adding to it; you only have to look at his proofs to see that. I realized that my own way was in impoverishment, in lack of knowledge and in taking away, in subtracting rather than adding."

Agree in part for from all I see coming out of science the predictions for warming are all over the place (not unlike prediction of the Keydnesian multiplier effect).
I think what we need to look at instead of focusing on stopping what man is doing to his environment, which would be ruinous economically, we should look for ways to adapt to it.
