I'd be a lot more impressed about your reasonableness if I saw any posts from you actually worried about the idiotic solutions getting ready to be dumped on us and fewer posts screaming that I'm "not of the body."

That the planet has been getting warmer over the past century is beyond dispute. That human emissions are one of a number of contributors seems likely. That the problem is of the degree being sold by Al Gore, the Left, and the popular culture is dead wrong.

That it is necessary to dismantle our civilization to save the Earth is insane.

You say you're not one of the nuts. Really. You seem to be able to howl for thirty posts on the AGW meme, but I got one response to this post below, which describes what is about to be inflicted on us out of sheer, ignorant panic by gibbering idiots who haven't even read the IPCC reports, much less anything else on the subject.

I don't want my life destroyed by someone whose extent of knowledge on this consists of having seen Gore's movie twice.

Dammit, RL, don't you see you won the argument? The doom of Earth is now written into the Conventional Wisdom, the skeptics have been exiled onto rapidly melting ice floes, and the only step left is finding out exactly how the "little people" are going to be sacrificed on the altar of Gaia. Sure as hell the leadership isn't going to be subjected to power rationing, or be taking any fewer private plane trips.

If there are nuclear power advocates out there among the AGW proponents, where the hell are they?
