Your right and you seem highly educated which you most likely are compared to me but I think that same kind of thinking can apply to going overboard on Carbon, Carbon credits etc. We can't even predict or change a local rain storm from happening three days out. Lets not make everyone poor and backwards in trying to change what's most likely the natural cycle of the whole earth. If the earth wants to get warmer it will. Just like it did back and fourth for 4 billion years.
I think it funny that a few people think they are powerful enough to change the climate of the earth, and others follow thinking it's the right thing to do. Start with the rain storm, first see if you can change a local rain storm from happening. It's really all about the money, this issues is a huge huge tax deposit. I don't want less for my retirement, money eaten up in taxes and inflated higher energy costs, living in the dark, saving money to be able to use my Kubota to move a rock all for some experiment, No thanks,
As for me
I'm all for the earth getting warmer , my summers will be longer, my heating bills will be lower, and I won't have to drive that far to get to the beach.

Man will adapt to the earth , the earth doesn't adapt to man.
