While I concede the point that, if Global Warming exists to the point the alarmists state, it could be extremely dangerous.
However, giving into the hype while evidence is completely inconclusive holds equally drastic problems. How do we lower CO2 emissions without completely altering our economy? We have no other cost-effective mass energy production as of yet outside of nuclear power. Hydrogen-fuel cars take vastly more energy to produce per energy output then gasoline, and produce just as much CO2 because the energy to split the water molecule is produced primarily by coal plants.
The only effective alternative to nuclear would be air/sun production, but those change by the minute so would require the old standby coal.
And cars, working at good efficiency, only produce water and CO2. If we are to lower emissions we would have to lower the amount of cars. If we are to get rid of the hundreds of millions of cars in America we damn well better be sure that Global Warming is an actual threat.
Oh yeah, what ever happened to the predicted worse-than-last-year hurricane season? We've had a killer 0 hurricanes this year.
