Either way, global warming is probably going to be bad news.

There are several reasons in my opinion why there have been die hard
skeptics, including myself. *1) Al Gore was absolutely the wrong
spokesman for the original message. * His overall lack of credibility
and borderline hysteria made him a poor messenger. * 2) *It is
abundantly clear that there have been many past instances of global
warming/cooling that demonstrably had nothing to do with fossil fuel
emissions.

hopefully common sense will prevail before it's too late.
I was always sceptical about the buying and selling of carbon tax
credits. Here our provincial govt mandated how much power should come
from from renewable sources such as wind farm, hydro electric etc.
The usual problem is that the consumer always pays more... one way or
the other.
