So you wouldn't have a problem if I am skeptical about spending billions to 'solve' global warming? Since science has NOT proven that spending that money will solve anything. Right?

In much the same way as I don't know if I'm going to have a fire in my house, but I still purchase a smoke detector.
Strange comparison. A smoke detector is 'proven' to send an alarm if a fire has broken out. Spending so much money to 'solve' global warming....could very well do nothing.

I like what IFF said...if 'anything' we should want alternative energy solution simply because of the gas price. Oil companies are running a monopoly on us...they KNOW that we WILL pay that much for gas, so they gouge us. If we develop alternative solutions, the price can ONLY go down. But that won't happen overnight. Even if we started building a nuclear plant today...it would take a minimum of 15 years to complete.
