I'm thinking 'Not global warming again....'
I'm for ending the war in Iraq.
I'm for cutting emissions and dependence on oil.
I think that pretending humans and their paltry efforts can change the natural forces of the planet which has heated and cooled over the millennia is just mind candy.

The two aren't mutually exclusive (we could be focusing on global warming right now), but you're right that Iraq is diverting way too much attention. In the first two presidential debates (before the YouTube debate) there wasn't a single question about global warming while almost every question was about Iraq.
The war is certainly also a waste of resources, and we need to start reducing our greenhouse gas emissions before it's too late.

Not just Global Warming but the main focus needs to be on renewable energy as that appears to be the main root problem of both issues.

Im thinking while you are pondering, in your infinite wisdom, how to best "save the world" you will later find that the world was not in need of being saved...you were.
The earth has had many cycles and will continue to do so. Do not be so arrogant as to assume you can change it- or worse, even if you could, assume that you should. How many other unintended consequences will you cause while trying to prevent one?
When did we exchange letting nature taking its course to we can fix anything right now?

We will never agree on global warming just like we will never agree on the war

I agree with, born in the U.S.A. Global warming and Terrorism are both peak oil. I'm not saying these are not real issues but they should call it what it is.

Yes on the war, no on global warming. I'm curious. What would be your benchmark of success on global warming?

Of course we should stop the war in Iraq. The problem is that we can't.

Yes.
i agree.
i feel we have less time to address gobal warming than we realize.
some claim we have 50 to100 years, from what i've read i believe it more in the 10 to 15 years.
as for the war, you will have those who would rather be proud than make the right decision.
