i am wrong? "
There is lots of grant money to be gotten by denying global warming. After all, the oil industry does not particularly like the idea of global warming." - sounds to me to be very much like another opinion and/or assumption stated as fact.
my point was that the issue by design, is set up to be biased and impossible. who is going to make the most noise? alarmists, or moderate people? what are the key words "global warming" - that implies that the climate shouldn't be getting warmer. then you move right into the obvious points that we are coming out of an ice age and idiots start slinging insults back and forth avoiding the real issue with is the possibly abnormally accellerated climate change.
i agree that it makes sense to side with science. i agree that nothing is to risk in being cautious. i just think these discussions end up being so fucked up from the get go because of the extremism and the obvious problems in the arguments on both sides.
