We have REAL scientists on one side of the issue. These are the same kind of scientists that created a vaccination that pretty much stopped polio, these are the same kind of scientists that have saved countless lives by using the SCIENTIFIC METHOD to create anti-biotic therapy. This is the same kind of science that is unravelling the mysteries of the cosmos, the genetic code of dna and the fact of evolution.
The reality is, global temperatures (by East Anglia's own admission) have not risen, but rather have dropped over the past 15 years, and are in line with centennial "norms." Yes, they even offset the "global cooling" that was all the rage of our media in the 1970's. By the way, who decided what the norms are? Are measurements of less than 10% of the world over the past 100 years really representative of the entire earth's history?
Let's face it: the earth has been warming and cooling since long before cars, factories, CFC's, and aerosols. To attribute these cycles to man's activity is sheer arrogance.
And then on the other side we have people motivated by politics, religion and greed.
Boy, that's a tough decision which one to go with.... real tough. I'm just glad the earth is flat otherwise those on the bottom would all fall off.
