I guess it is like anything else we might consider beneficial it depends on the costs involved. The original post asked if anyone is actually worried about global warming. If you really believe that global warming is going to destroy the planet then no amount of money is too much to spend. If you believe that global warming is junk science and not a problem then any amount is too much. If you are somewhere in between and are not sure then maybe the $700 billion (or whatever the latest estimate is) Kyoto price tag is justified. There is nothing detremental in newer and better technology cleaning up the environment other than the cost/benefit judgement.
