If you can define what is not concerned with religion/philosophy, I'd happily talk about that too.

As I'm always saying, the why is at least as important as the how.

Your comment reminded me of JBP's observation that if you make the appropriate sacrifice, you greatly increase your chance of prosperity into the future. Sacrifice effort, treasure, thought, attention, etc now > profit.

The discussion on anthropomorphic global warming vs natural warming is boring, because it doesn't matter what/who to blame because the magnitude of the threat/benefit remains the same. The interesting discussion is how do we maximize benefit, minimize threat, and make the appropriate sacrifices to accomplish those goals.
