But what's happened in *this* debate is that the tyranny of the
cautionary principle takes hold and thus we MUST all agree or else we
are imposing grave danger on all!

Maybe we are.

But we're abiding an even more pernicious danger if we toss out the
civil discourse that has forwarded all our progress in so many areas
to this time, and is the only hope for addressing these problem if
they are as real as some believe.


Of course. There's always more talking to do.

But it is absurd to believe that we can double the atmospheric volume of the
most important, persistent greenhouse gas and nothing much will happen. The
very idea defies the laws of physics.

So, sure; let's continue the civil dialog. But let's not pretend that
there's any doubt that there will be consequences for what we're doing, or
that it won't be our fault if those consequences are disatrous for future
generations.
