I don't think debating the cause of climate change is a wasted debate, because depending on the answer, it's either our fault to some degree, or it isn't; and this has a direct bearing on whether it's good or bad for governments to be dumping scatzillions of dollars into research on what we can do to fix it. Because if there's nothing we can do to stop global warming, then we should keep our tax money.
Granted, regardless of what one believes about the causes of global warming, being a good environmental steward is no less important than it's ever been.
Mimio, you mentioned that it's only Republicans who are saying climate change is out of our hands. That isn't true. The BBC did a very thorough documentary a couple years back on the subject, bolstered by research from scientists who are not in the pocket of any political organization. Unfortunately, this group has been shouted down and the video is nowhere to be found. Sad, because it was 1.5 hours worth of brilliance that I think anyone who cares about our planet at all should have watched, whilst taking notes.
