An environmental note (to Gideon especially)

Okay, I went and looked around for about a half hour and pulled up articles regarding the environment, global warming, etc. I'm not particularly interested the exact sciences regarding all these issues. So, please, let's get off these environmental issues, which by the way I consider arguing for free markets, and get back to the philosophical discussion regarding potential solutions for the ills we see in the world. If you want to post to me about the environment I'll just keep on referring you back to this post; I've read maximum 12 hours on the global waming issue, which is minimal for me, and am convinced it's not a big immediate issue. Most of the following links are to Ph.Ds (physicists, economists, biologists, etc) and all of the works are researched and cited to specific data sources:
