With so much rubbish in 'Environment & Energy' you can understand a little apathy.

Yes - almost every other thread seems to be aimed at rubbishing the IPCC's work. Perhaps Exxon Mobile's largess extends even this far!

My position is more complex than these options allow.

Can you summarise it?

I was considering repeating these polls on a regular basis if enough people vote. I did not include 'other' as it provides no information at all. If you let me know your view - I will see if I can add a category.

The IPCC may be right up to a point - there is some evidence to suggest 'global warming' and some part of this is probably linked to CO2 produced by burning fossil fuels and cutting down rain forest - exactly how much is far from certain.

In the absence of certain knowledge about this, policy driven by rigid CO2 targets is unwise as it will harm the economy, and make us less able to cope with a changing climate.

Regardless of the CO2 debate there are good arguments for starting to cut back on burning fossil fuels, as this is a particularly wasteful use of a valuable resource for the future.

What would your strategy be inlight of what you say?

Nuclear power plus renewables principally. Drastically cut the use of gas for electricity generation - likewise imported coal.

the IPCC might be correct - some effort should be made to achieve recommended targets	3	17.65%
