Why I hate global warming hysteria

Betsy Newmark's husband makes an excellent summation of why we're skeptical about global warming in general as well as about anthropomorphic global warming.  It very direct and to the point and worth reading.

I hate global warming hysteria because it's taking all the resources and focus that should be on actual problems that we could actually solve within our life times with a fraction of the resources contemplated for global warming.  For instance, the oceans are being murdered primarily by over fishing.  So why not buy out the fisherman, set up a zillion marine sanctuaries, and solve the problems of large scale ocean fish farming?  Why not solve salt water intrusion into ground water by cracking the code to water alternatives such as desalinization or ice berg harvesting?  Clean & cheap energy (hello nuclear!).  Instead we're all running around like Chicken Little when we should be doing what we can now.

Makes me sick...
