What is Energizing Our Future : Rational Choices for the 21st Century about?

<div><div> &lt;h2&gt;CHAPTER 1&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;GLOBAL WARMING&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Perhaps no other aspect of the energy debate has attracted so much emotional discourse and questionable science as the topic of Global Warming (GW). GW is defined as the observed gradual increase in average global temperatures attributed to greenhouse gases that started in about 1850, coinciding with the industrial revolution. In addition to the measured temperature rise, the widely observed thinning of the polar icecaps, the worldwide erosion of glaciers, and the measurable rise in average land and ocean temperatures are strong supporting evidence of GW.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Two firmly opposed camps are emerging on the matter of global warming. One view is typified by CNN's Martin O'Brien's assertion that "the scientific debate is over ... something must be done." This is the "Al Gore camp" claiming that man's activities are dramatically and irreparably changing the Earth's climate. Its members vigorously support the principles of the Kyoto Treaty.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The other view holds that we are primarily experiencing the variability of the Earth's natural cycles.
