If you'd really like to make this a discussion board I'll ask you again: What are you afraid of?
Are you afraid to take any steps on your own to reduce energy waste? How will you be harmed if you try to practice a little conservation? Are you so afraid that in doing so someone down the road will chastise you for doing so?
Or is it just greed? You might own stocks in an oil company. Do you sell air cleaners? Air conditioners? Gas guzzling mega-vehicles? Or perhaps you're a paid lobbyist.
All of the effort trying to prove that global warming does or does not exist is a waste. What is the harm in reducing excess consumption of fuels and energy?
