"...it is not the word of God or something,..."
When, how long ago, was the word of god something on which there was universal agreement? ;-)

On the present situation, I am puzzled about how one can expect smart people of good will to come to a consensus view. And suppose we do not limit the discussion to global warming as seems to have been done by Ian. Should we not also include peak oil in the statement of the problem?

If it was only people of good will that we needed to reach, the problem would be much less hopeless...

First order of business, get the peak oil issue to the forefront of public awareness and discourse.

Second order of business, start developing and IMPLEMENTING long term and shorter term demand and supply side plans
