By way of definition: According to Wikipedia, AGW stands for ‘anthropogenic global warming’.  This is global warming Supposedly caused directly by humans. Natural climate change is known as ‘climate variablity.

Why is this debate about beliefs, AGW is either true or not, and science not belief will be the judge in the end. What the American public believes is irrelevant, and should not sway public policy, they still believe in magic (why else would anyone buy a lottery ticket). Scale is an attribute that is routinely ignored in all these debates, ie. nothing we can do voluntarily will make one iota of difference in the outcome of AGW (if in fact it is real) in any reasonable time frame. The solution will come by some accident of human ingenuity from some completely unexpected tangent. The future has never been a linear projection of the past, it is logarithmic and chaotic. Impoverishing millions for a belief seems the heights of arrogance.
