Surely that's better than, in a hundred years time saying "oops, looks like the science *is* proven, pity it's too late to do anything about it"...

Well, I thought the Independent was trying to whip us up in a paranoid frenzy because it was too late already.
Anyway, you've changed tack a bit. You were always so insistent on seeing proof and not advocating "just in case" actions. Reducing energy use, and being more efficient is what would happen even without people warning of the threat of Global Warming. But I am not going to sell my car and live up a tree on something that's pure guesswork atm. They guessed that the earth was flat until Columbus sailed around it.
