I guess it comes down to whether you trust the sources.
Well, like it or not, the global warming issue may be decided partly on science, but it will definitely be decided with politics, whichever way it goes. C'est la vie. We do the best we can.
I agree.
And I'm in favor of most of the things global warming advocates want to do anyway. I think it makes sense on other grounds - resource conservations, health, etc. So I don't have much argument there. I just like to see the science presented accurately.
The other thing is, I think the concentration of stopping global warming distracts us from the job of getting ready for it when we can't stop it. If the sea levels start to rise and the earth continues to warm, we need to deal with people living in coastal regions, new disease patterns, etc. We're not really looking into any of that from a societal perspective because Gore's got people convinced that we can stop the warming. I think we probably cannot.
