So what is it? Ban fossil fuels or encourage them?

You probably already know from a previous post that I am not a big believer in the myth that man is causing catostophic global warming by burning fossil fuels. Obviously we are experiencing climate change, but the evidence just is not there to prove that man is causing it or even could cause it if he wanted to. Frankly, if we can manipulate the climate, I wish we could have done something to blow those four hurricanes that hit Florida out to sea.....

Now, a group of scientists are saying that if we cut fossil fuel burning, it could cause global warming to accelerate catastrophically and leave Europe a desert by 2100. Apparently, "fossil fuel by-products like sulfur dioxide particles reflect the sun's rays, "dimming" temperatures and almost canceling out the greenhouse effect. "

Do we really know as much as we think we know, or do we just like to live in a state of fear???
