#4 wxj: It's hard to believe a man who has such business success could be so stupid.

I think you're subscribing to the myth of universal competence. A good businessman wouldn't necessarily be a good scientist. And vice versa.

#6 reducing gas emissions may save the life of "everybody" on the planet

It may also kill everyone on the planet. It depends on whether the climate drivers beyond our control warm or cool our future climate.

The Year Without a Summer after the Tambora eruption. Widespread famine. No one knows how many died but its probably in the millions.

Ditto for the Icelandic eruption a century earlier.

AGW would appear to be the best chance we have of saving our collective arses should we get another big volcanic eruption. Assuming of course CO2 warms the climate as much as advertized, which I very much doubt.
