When excited my dog has 4 1/2 legs...

To me there seem to be unsatisfactorily answered questions, and since it's politicisation AGW feels less like a scientific theory and more a govermental crowbar.

The use of renewable energy, less polluting cars, the clean up of industry can only be a good thing whether AGW is true or not, however the paradigm shift in our style of living neeeded to meet government set targets feels wrong and unecessarily economically damaging.

I don't see why it's damaging at all.
The Stern Report was clear that moving to renewables would be expensive, but expensive doesn't mean harmful: the money spent would provide jobs, technology, innovation; and it would, of course, save us from the oil shocks headed our way.

It would also be cheaper than the predicted cost of climate change - a cost which, since the Report, has been revised upwards.
