Great idea, but there's no hard scientific proof to support the conclusion... right now, we have conflicting scientific data that global warming might just be a normal part of the planet's cycle rather than the result of something humanity did wrong.

Sorry to correct you but that myth is to longlived by far. Global warming is proven and accepted by the research society as a whole. There are some researchers that still claim the opposite, the most loud is sponsored by the petroleum institute (USA corp - dont remeber the exact name)
Its a fact that human activity has increased the global warming. The mean temp would probably have risen without us but not near the rate it increasing right now. And its the haigh rate of change thats really dangerues.
The big issue is if the united states will take responability for all that carbondioxide it puts out (the highest amount per capita in the world) or not. But with Bush at the rudder its a slim chance. Hopefully someone with a more holistic view takes over in 2 years.
That said, and considering myself somewhat green, i hope they get that fusion plant running soon!
