I on the other hand use terms like head in sand, denial and vested interest. I'd rather see some havoc wreaked in economies than what I fear is already happening to the planet.
I don't know what other subject on this earth seems to require doubters (not a judgment but an accurate term no?) to have 100% buy in by all science/parties. Wasn't like that in Iraq for example, and Bingo, aren't you the person that in war, believes that you need to stir the pot? I remember your stance on Iraq, how it wasn't handled right, didn't go in for the right reasons, but still something should be stirred. (Hope I got the gist of what I remember). I guess you aren't really saying "do nothing" anyway. And that's the philosophical part, you're prepared to sit back a bit and do a few things, I think it's more crucial to be a bit zealous about it.

Yikes ... Iraq again.
Not sure I wanted to stir the pot, but no I wasn't a "leave it be and hope the bad people just leave us alone guy"
If this was just philosophy I'd probably be a little less concerned. My worry is the mass amounts of capital and attention this issue is getting all the while shouting down anyone that disagrees when it is far from settled given the isses with modeling etc that are rampant in predicting weather for next week, let alone the next century.
But past that I'm not looking as pollution as my goal in life, in fact far from it. I'm not sure what a 100% green person is, but I'd have to be somewhere in the middle to high middle I'd hope, and not a guy just ignoring the pending issue for a second.
People (all of us) tend to gravitate from one world issue to another and it seems like this issue has lots of merit, but perhaps a bit of an over zealous take to it that I think should slow up a bit.
if the science is really in then we're all on board and lets fix it. But I'd hate to see some very damaging decisions made in the meantime that were before their time, or not the correct ones at all.
