"So much for the specter of depletion, as a reason to adopt renewable energy technologies like solar power and wind power."

Positive or negative feedbacks to that warming could accelerate or decelerate the warming but climate science is not close to being able to model those feedbacks accurately.

They also take the same set of data and surmise the exact opposite, as in the case of cloud coverage and temps. I recently read an article about the in which two separate teams came to two separate conclusions based on the same data simply because they suspected different causes for what they were observing.

On to He3, I say. The solar system has enough for several Earths.

The climate system is so incredibly complex and there is so much that remains to be discovered that it is understandable that climate scientists have a long way to go and don't always agree. Unfortunately, it is a very politicized science which slows things down.
