The entire premise that "AGW and the tipping point" was a catastrophy that must be avoided was due to the assertion that nature COULD NOT overcome mans effect.
Now that it is obvious that nature is entirely in control, they want to forget that assertion. Being "green" is fastly becoming the "right thing to do"...just because. It is now a moral duty.
Actually being Green is the right thing to do because we do not want to continue to be dependent on oil from the Middle East, Venezuela, and Nigeria. As for here in the USA, I don’t want us to use up the oil that my grandchildren and theirs will need for all the other industrial/civilization uses that it has and will have. Especially important as the world population continues to soar.
