"Seriously, I have avoided looking deeply into the scientific evidence....."

Then there is no point to this discussion at all.

Oh I think there is a point to the discussion. There is probably no point to discussing whether there is in fact global warming due to things we can change - because all of our arguments will most like fall into the "appeal to authority" type and, since there are equal numbers and degrees of authority, then that is a wash.

The discusion worth having is, are we going to destroy civilization as we know it in the present to prevent something we do not know will happen in the future?

For a minor matter, things sweetened with corn syrup will now cost more than double...and to what gain? Most of us will never see "alternative fuels at the pump".
