Again, and this is where i have no idea, the earth has for its entire existance warmed and cooled. Undeniable fact. It has done so just in my lifetime as a matter of fact. So to what degree do we "tip the apple cart" chasing down a solutiuon that will never work to the degree we wish because of the cycle of warming/cooling the planet has always experienced?
There are valid points on both sides of this thing...and extremists as well, which are illustrated in this very thread alone.

You have not yet raised a valid point. Your straw man that the Earth natural warms and cools is not relevant to this conversation because we are dealing with human forced warming. Your starting point for entering this discussion is faulty. We are out of a natural cycle and are at levels of atmosphere CO2 concentration not seen in millions of years.
You are also engaging in a faulty appeal to reason argument that if you're "in the middle" of the debate spectrum then you are reasonable. This is not supported by fact which says that the entire side of one debate is based on fantasy.
