When have I NOT gone with AGW doom? You never seem to be able to get a handle on my position no matter how often I restate it. If I don't predict insta-doom I'm a corny, right? You are too much of a binary thinker.

I don't know when or if it will happen, nor do I think the clathrate gun needs to fire off for our geese to be cooked anyway. So answering that question doesn't really change my views that we're screwed due to AGW. It's just a matter of how fast it happens.

I don't see your problem with this the way you do. You don't think the FF industry won't attempt to do this? You think the public will successfully rally against it? An attempt will be made, a much more vigorous attempt than we've seen. They may fail. I'm not saying they will succeed. Just that they will attempt it. I hardly see how that is a controversial prediction.
