@Mouse,
Great post and I agree with you.
I would post links to articles, but they are spread out over various sites, over various years.
IMHO, your observation of if AGW wins is close, but not quite.
I have mentioned before, most of the AGW crowd think they can just shift the carbon footprint to re-newables and all is well! They can keep their electric cars, their lattes, the cat videos, climate control McMansions with TV in every room to include the dogs!
Ask them to really give up to reduce their carbon footprint to combat AGW? What is that? Crickets I hear?
Most of those in the AGW crowd are not willing to do what it takes. They are just too selfish.
