Well I guess a thinly veiled political post is bound to get political at some point, right? Global warming exists and so does global cooling. It has been going on as long as the earth has been here. These cycles run over great periods of time.
Icebreakers breaking ice in the north pole discounts global warming like the sun shining over the Sahara for another day discounts global cooling.
Governments and private entities will try and capitalize on the transition from fossil fuels to other sources of energy, just like anything else. That's what they will always do, doesn't matter if we're putting up solar panels or burning huge piles of coal, somebody wants to make some $ off it. Hmmm... ever gouged by an oil company, or is it just the hippies with their windmills that are gonna get us?
I'm not exactly sure where we are right now, but I'm pretty sure the possibility exists that we could adversely effect our planets climate unintentionally. I think it'd be stupid to think that we could not. We could pollute the oceans and air to the point of being unable to sustain some forms of life if we wanted to- who knows what else we could do.
Too bad the science of this is mired in political rhetoric and special interests.
