I'm perfectly serious, Sue.
Global Warming is a logically flawed proposal. It confuses correlation with causation, and the proposed "solutions" will do nothing but drive the world into a prolonged economic depression, causing more death and environmental harm than GWT ever predicted.
Predicting behaviour in complex systems is never, ever as simple as "stop this action, and that reaction will not happen".
For example, the entire effect of Global Warming could be offset by something as stupid as ATV's playing in the desert:

Global dust emissions were between two and three billion tons a year, and this was even being felt in Britain, Professor Goudie said, with an increase in episodes of "blood rain" - the deposition of dust from the Sahara on the British land mass. "The world is getting a lot dustier," he said. The reasons included land use changes caused by growing populations, such as deforestation and overgrazing, but 'Toyota-ization', a word coined by him to mean disturbance by 4x4s, was a specific cause, the professor said.
See Paul's post below about "Toyota-ization".
