No I think the problem is your and others intolerance. You believe what you believe and call any question of it ignorance. You believe any scientist who questions your belief is either paid off or incompetent. You believe any news agency who raises questions is unreliable; any politician ignorant. Any study questioning orthodoxy is disregarded as flawed.
I can't count the number of times I've heard that "the vast majority of scientists agree that man is causing global warming" as if the vast majority of scientist have never gotten something wrong. There is a large scale denial of the influence money plays in the steering of research and the role human pride and ego plays into the blinding of even great scientific minds.
If man is behind global warming then we are going to have to adjust to the consequences because there is no chance carbon fuel will be replaced until we run out of it or find a better producer of energy. Carbon credits and other solutions just amount to a grab at wealth by politicians. They won't effect the amount of carbon being released. They just change where it is being released and who gains the economic benefit from it.
