Re: "Global warming is great,"

Well it seems to me we could approach this 'experimentally'.  There are two
experiments we could do (or variations on such).  1)  Let's double the
man-made emissions in the next decade and see what happens.  This one is
easy to do--China and India can be charged with providing most of the
emissions.  2)  We could cut the man-made emissions by 50% over the next 50
years--harder to do but possible in that time frame.

Which is the more responsible experiment?   ;-)
