Love the climate pseudoscience links, but back in the real world.. its as simple as this:
"
The controversy is significantly more pronounced in the popular media than in the scientific literature,[1][2] where there is a strong consensus that global surface temperatures have increased in recent decades and that the trend is caused mainly by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases. No scientific body of national or international standing disagrees with this view,[3][4] though a few organisations hold non-committal positions.

End.
I'm debating government solutions not AGW, and I'm questioning how we know for sure exactly what effects AGW will have on the planet. THAT is what affects political policy decisions and THAT is what impacts my life, not some wiki article or scientific journal saying the planet is warming. How does that affect me, when will it affect me, to what degree will it affect me, and if you suggest intervening, how will that solve the problem and what are the potential consequences of that on my life.
Wouldn't that be your question?
Its like me and religion. I don't care what you believe in as long as it doesn't affect my life. The minute you try impose your will on my, I have a problem with that.
(I see you didn't bother with the youtube link, probably best series on climate change I have seen, brought to you not by al gore or the state, but by free market forces!)
Sigh, so hard to make resonable discussions that mean anything. Woop die woop so science stands behind your belief in AGW, does that miraculously make you entitled to FORCE it on others, NO! THAT IS MY ISSUE!
The simple matter is the proposed solutions fall into the realm of ECONOMICS which you clearly don't understand and physical scientists who are used to mathematical and statistical data would almost certainly not understand AT ALL unless they reject the methods they are familiar with when dealing with economic problems.
Government intervention has negative consequences. Period. Does global warming outweigh this, what about people, I mean essentially we are saying the industrial revolution was a GIANT mistake as it caused all this, so do we all want to go back into living day by day in poverty (Relative to our current conditions?) because that would be logical and incredibly inhumane.
You have no answers to all the economic problems. This is the issue many people you like to label as loony skeptics ask...yet this is an issue you cannot answer. To what degree to you feel ENTITLED to intervene in my life to "save the world"?
