Warming to Global Warming

I've been slowly coming to realize the good of the Global Warming controversy. Largely, that it has stirred debate (and no, there isn't concensus), and has highlighted troubling tactics committed by both sides of the debate. In the meantime, there is a fairer middle ground where honest and reasonable action is taking place. Who would argue that mankind is stewarding the Earth to his greatest ability? Surely there is room for improvement, as with all things we undertake. There is useful commerce occuring in that middle ground, as well as good conversation, and discovery of effective and non-burdensome steps we can all take. In fact, perhaps it's best not to bring too much attention to this good work. Let it be overshadowed by the warring extremes, so that it can continue along in its substantive work. I will remain a decided skeptic of man-caused global warming, of his ability to influence it, and of the foretold calamities to come. But I'm a firm believer that we can do things better than we have, and we should. Just don't tell me that CO2 is the biggest threat facing civilization, when in reality it is more likely those who try to tell us so.
