... for so far proving me wrong and not being a 'troll' :-D

It's ok to disagree as long as you back up your claims with facts and honest discussion and not just say... 'you're wrong and an idiot and stupid and...' etc. :-D

Now to your post...
First off the IPCC is NOT comprised of 2000+ scientist... the IPCC is the political office under the UN that 'checks' the climate and came out with it's report on climate change... that report had about 2500 signatures on it but only about 700 of those were scientists and none of those have been asked to sign off on the conclusion... only that their research was used...

Second... there would be NO harm in switching to clean renewable energy sources... like I said 'pollution in the form of burning of fossil fuels (creating CO2) has other and almost as far reaching consequences as global warming so switching to clean renewable energy sources is still a VERY good idea if we want to survive'...

And I wholehardily agree with all the benifits you describe if we do so... my point was that it is a good thing because of polution NOT global warming :-D
