I argue with my sister a lot about the "marketing" of global warming. I think the argument needs to be phrased more this way: suppose we take the recommended steps to curb global warming and then it turns out we were wrong about climate change. We will still have cleaned up our air, reduced our dependence on oil (particularly foreign oil), made our nation and world prettier, and created thousands of sustainable productive jobs.
