Which, IMO, still begs the question:
Does anyone really believe, or is there any hard science to suggest, that spewing millions of metric tons of GHG from fossil fuels (primarily automobiles and power plants) into the atmosphere every year is healthy for the environment...or even neutral in its impact?
So what should we do about it? Nothing....just wait until the science is 100% irrefutable?

We certainly can start with a more honest discussion at every level.
Most soitenly, and we can start by accepting that it's not all our fault, but what we are doing to contribute is not good, and there is much we can do to change that. On the other hand running off in 17 directions at full throttle is neither smart or likely to be effective.

Fortunately the change in U.S. leadership will probably help get a more coordinated effort going to address this issue. I hope an effort that keeps both Al Gore and Big Oil on the sidelines.
