It's not necessary to prove or disprove global warming in order to know that our environment should be treated with respect or else sooner or later, humans will suffer for it.
I totally agree. As soon as we find a cleaner energy source, we should ditch carbon ASAP, being abundantly cautious. However, ditching carbon before a suitable replacement is immoral IMO, since it would be the equivalent of murdering millions, plus our enemies won't play along, so we'd just be destroying ourselves militarily. Liberals don't seem to grasp this, they think people are just dumb for not starving themselves or freezing to death (meanwhile they fly planes and--as always--fail to lead by example.
The only suitable technology in existence to replace coal is nuclear. Is anyone proposing we go "all nuclear"? Right now it seems we're doing the best we can, and I think in 10 years we will be ready for real change, but you can't just give a nice speech and change the world, it takes real progress in science, not just pure skepticism.
