Wrong question!
If we know that the earth has had 5 ice ages, and that the dinosaurs lived in a time when the earth was much hotter; why are we trying to stop global warming, when we should be trying to figure out how to live with extreme climate change--both freeze and boil?
Why is it that no "brilliant" climate scientists seem to have studied whether or not the water vapor is capable of escaping earths gravity? the only way that global warming is a real problem is if it is possible for our waters to leave us altogether.
If global warming warms the entire earth, why is it that these scientists haven't considered the fact that more land will become livable and even more land will probably become arable? Lands in extremely cold places, such as Siberia, north Canada, and Alaska, will become more livable. Much land will also become arable that was previously barren: just think of all the new lands that will grow crops when they are unfrozen.
In summary, I think we need to change the focus and intention of our studies of climate so that we can live with the inevitable when it happens.

Global Warming debate ended?
Really? In the 70's the prediction was an ice age. those predictions seemed to have failed. Now we are expected to believe the results of a models that have not been proven accurate which say were gonna cook? If you read anything about global warming and the "science" involved in the calculations you realize that many things need to be considered in the calculations and that there are probably billions of factors that have not been considered.
The biggest problem is that people forget, all to readily, that scientists are human: they make mistakes sometimes on purpose. They even forget that scientists are often not motivated by science, but by economic gain. People have already forgotten the big mess that Dr. Hwang created in Korea over his fabricated genetic experiments.
If Dr. Hwang fabricated research for financial gain, just how many are out there that haven't been found out yet? What this means is that you shouldn't necessarily buy what someone says just because they are a "scientist", or for that matter have a PhD. You need to filter everything you hear and read through your own reasoning process.
I often read the overused pedantic that we should yield to "Peer reviewed journals." This is hype and down right crap. What these people fail to tell you is that there are scientists who pass phony research off for years before it is found out to be false. So lets step back in time 5 years, Dr. Hwang is a renowned, peer-reviewed, published, PhD. scientist. According to certain said scientists we should believe him because he is "peer-reviewed." I don't know about you, but knowing what I know now about Dr. Hwang, and extrapolating that situation to the fact that others like him have to exist, I am still going to rely on my own brain to process what I see and decide whether I should believe it or not.
Here are a couple more cases to illustrate my point:
These scientists fabricated lab data http://www.mindfully.org/Pesticide/2003/Lab-Falsified-Tests6sep03.htm, This Bell Labs scientist faked data http://physicsweb.org/articles/world/15/11/2, The scientist who falsified this information cost the US tax payer $10 million per year for a program based on falsified information http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,38366,00.html --And those in the global warming camp claim that anyone who resists is being buttered by the oil industry.
Setting all this Global Warming bologna aside, we need to stop polluting our environment for the sake of our environment, but not at the cost of bankrupting small countries. I am appalled to see how much trash people throw out. People walking down the street, seeing no receptacle, drop trash on the ground. It has to stop people.
