There are also some here that believe technology will get us out of this "energy problem" we're having.

There are even those that believe we should continue our current economic growth programs with unwavering support because...

"there is no scientific proof that our economic and energy policies are having an impact on the global climate." (some Bush flunky)

So what the hey... if there is no proof then climate change must not be happenin' and it must be OK to keep on doing what we're doing. Wrong.

We had better change and we had better do it now, and not for the next generation (or the next adminstration) where we may have grown by another 20, 30, or 40% (depending on how vigorously people of child-bearing ages reproduce).
