I do agree, the debate has not been settled at all.

There continues to be vigorous and divisive debate over the conclusions and we obviously do not have (1) sufficient data to draw meaningful conclusions and (2) do not know enough about the actual physical mechanisms of the planet's climate to make meaningful projections.

I firmly believe we should all be responsible citizens of this planet; being mindful of the environment is the right thing to do. However, the debate over climate change - and the policymaking as a result - are obviously quite politicized.

The current movements for and against climate change are more about protecting fiefdoms, building empires, exploiting subsidies and crushing opponents than it is about being a mindful steward of the planet.
