Joel, you bring up a good point. It's kinda like warnings about food: wait long enough, and some study will prove what you like to eat will kill you. Wait longer, and it will be proven to extend your life. I believe some of the links I have above make the point (if not, I know I heard it somewhere, forgive me for not referencing), more people die from cold each year than heat. So one would think a gradual warming would be good for humanity. Who knows.

I, for one, will not paint my roof white, as has been suggested as a way to ease global warming. Paint has harmful VOCs and emissions due to its chemical makeup. What would happen if thousands of people did this? Who knows? And that brings me to the biggest issue I have with any large scale policy change.
The "law of unintended consequences". IE the situation is so complex that what was thought would be a solution actually exacerbates the problem. Solution? Leave well enough alone until you have all the facts. I see the administration making these policy changes and stimulus without a good idea of IF they will solve anything, and without a notion about long term impact. Case in point, GM. Bailout=Fail
