The better side of judgement...

...tells us that with all this uncertainty, shouldn't we be doing something now about greenhouse gasses? We know for a fact that these pollutants will affect climate in ways we cannot readily predict. So why are we still playing russian roulette with our planet?!? We already know for certain that these pollutants are poisonous and cause measurable health problems, so what's the excuse for not taking action now?!? All this spinning about around "media hype" and uncertain science is missing the point. The point is that even a 0.6 degree increase in global temperatures will have significant unpredictable negative consequences so lets stop contriibuting to the problem.

Its time this nation took climate change associated with polluting the air we breathe seriously. We need to take action and lead the charge, not wring our hands over a useless academic debate.
