Basically I think anthropogenic global warming is basically correct. The rest of the questions are: how much, how quickly, how bad?

Does that mean it's man made? No. The jury is still out on that part of it.
The rise in CO2 over the past half century is due primarily to us.
Conservatives are also starting to change their opinions on this, and I really don't see why they shouldn't. Go back ten years and you'd see politicians arguing that the Earth is actually cooling down. Whatever the scientists said, they'd say the exact opposite. I really don't know what the point of that is.
Lets say anthropogenic global warming is real. All I'll see happening is that conservatives simple switch statements, act as if they've never been against it, which is what politicians usually do when they change their mind. If they do that they'll be able to take the narrative of the global warming scenario away from the liberals. It'll be about the success stories of free market, companies like Silevo and First Solar, Tesla Motors and free market electricity exchange.
They can talk about how the free market ultimately handled this problem as effectively as possible, which is what I believe it will, rather than what the great government handouts could.
If Fox News can change their mind about electrical cars (they haven't had a negative opinion on them in a while now, and now they have commercials for the those luxury sedan type electrical cars). I think the conservative political landscape can do something similar.
I mean imagine a big throbbing vein on a liberals face as he watches commercials like this, and politicians stealing away one of their talking points.
