We will be leaving behind quite a different world than the one that existed when most of us were born and I sure hope that people wake up to the fact that we better start seriously planning for the climate changes we have caused and which some of us have already experienced.
Sorry for the morose AM post but it is difficult to think otherwise after seeing "Chasing Ice".
If you have a chance to see the movie on a movie theater screen (with Dolby or THX), you will be humbled by the power of the ice calving,

The concern before my parent's generation was the earth freezing over...they'd never get to have a warm place to live, the equator would become overcrowded, etc...
So what war is there? Its mostly just political BS to...spoil(rape) freedom. Its much like the over bearing "church" of several centuries ago. Its about political power, get enough people bowing down to their "icon", and they have power.
If you really wanted a "war" on climate change, rather than passive(government control of emissions), you'd go active, actually putting things in the atmosphere. You also need an "ideal" climate. None of the bozo politicians will stick up for the ideal climate that we need to keep, or change to, because once achieved, they lose their power. Instead, use the ghosts of fear of change. Seeing in history that change is naturally occurring, you can work some serious fear mongering with little effort. Similar to spooking tribes that don't know when an eclipse will occur that "you've hidden the sun until you comply".
Speaking of the sun, how the heck do we control that?
