Global Warming

In my opinion, there are individuals and groups on both sides of the global warming debate that have already made up their minds about what is happening (or not happening), and attempt from time to time to massage scientific data and findings to support their opinions. If we take Pascal's wager on the existence of global warming as caused by humans, one is lead to conserve energy, reduce waste, and live with the consequences of our actions in mind. If global warming is not caused by humans, have we really lost anything? If in one hundred years we have lived by using less and thinking of new and clever ways to conserve, have we really lost anything? The new focus on energy conservation and waste consumption is a means for reducing the overall life cycle costs of the widget (transportation, buildings, etc.), and if that's not a good conservative and competitive business practice then I don't know what is.
