The problem with global warming is that there is no solution.  Sorry, but true.  Yes, we can reduce carbon emissions and slow the atmospheric increase of CO2, but we cannot stop the increase with any steps currently being considered.  With the massive current global population and the massive increases in energy consumption in China, India and other heavily populated countries, we simply cannot realistically arrest the growth of atmospheric CO2.  So, we have these discussions about who admits to global warming and who is good for the planet.  I see this more like the flag pins, Presidential candidates must now wear.  The earth will warm.  The detailed predictions are not valid, but the overall trends are likely correct and we cannot stop it.  Many will dispute this, but proper refutation lies in quantitative pathways to 75% plus reduction in fossil carbon emission.
