By "civil" you mean starting/Flaming strings like Your: "Are Warmers Mentally ill".
Sure, suggesting 97% (trim it to 80% if you like) of scientists and most of the populous is Mentally ill as well as many others... is NOT Civil discussion.
Perhaps one of My Fact-filled string starts got you at least re-evaluating.
I believe it is too late to stop the Catastrophe that's coming but we can mitigate it by:
1. Even staying in Fossil fuels,
Legislate switching Power plants from Coal to Natural Gas. (by 2020 latest)
It's easy to get rid of the worst fuel while we're having a Fracking O&G Boom.
NG creates HALF as much CO2 as Coal, not to mention particulate matter.
We Have ALREADY cut overall CO2 emissions this way

1a. No exports of it either after 2020 to pigs like China.
2. Switch at least the whole National Commercial vehicle fleets to NG from Gasoline as well.

Trucks, Buses, and maybe trains too.
Burlington Northern is already experimenting with NG Locomotives.
And eventually go All vehicle NG or electric.
There's no net job loss in switching; in fact a job gain in redone infrastructure.
3. Build a series of Giant Solar plants, financed (as the TVA, etc) by the Government ASAP. (to eventually cut NG too)
I've previously read a SINGLE Gigantic solar plant in the 4 Corners area of the Southwest Could provide 100% of our power needs.
Of course, a series of smaller, but still Very Large, plants across the country would be better/more tactical.
3a. Wind, of course too.
4. Redo the grid to make it more efficient. We need to anyway to protect and update it.
Use superconductive materials prevent loss/wasted power.
The tech exists already.
Europe will gladly follow, they've already Lead us.
China is soot-city and the biggest fly in the ointment.
These pigs are the most ruthless abusers.
The have $1.5 Trillion of Our money yet plead poverty: "we're just developing".
They need to be isolated and embarrassed.
