If you're going to use science in an argument, use it's handmaiden -- skepticism.

Fine: let the scientists try to disprove it, and don't burn them at the stake for it. But until it IS disproven, may as well work with what we've got and reduce CO2 emissions. What do we have to lose?
* Wars in Middle Eastern pestholes, and the expense of keeping and feeding our military parasites there
* Pollution from oil drilling and from burning oil itself
* Groundwater pollution from natural gas collection
