On a positive note, even though many folks disagree about the basic facts of the climate, there is actually much more room for consensus going forward than you might think. For example, do people here think that investing in renewable energy, if it's done in a smart way that pays dividends, is bad? What about cleaner power plants? What about cars and trucks that get good gas mileage? How about more efficient appliances? How about making good, informed, personal choices, as you decide them, to help curb pollution and carbon emission from fossil fuels?
A lot of this is not really that outrageous, once you get beyond the rhetoric.
