I think you're on to something, Pete. I'm inclined to believe that global warming may exist, but from a pragmatic point-of-view I'm not sure we have the money or the technological capability to do anything meaningful about it (particularly if China and India don't play).

If you look at it in terms of dollars spent per live saved, there are lots of things that are better investments than spending gazillions to ensure that sea level doesn't go up a couple of feet in the next century (if the expenditure of gazillions could even guarantee that result). Providing clean drinking water and child immunizations to African nations comes to mind.
