To quote myself...

Reading about global warming always kind of reminds me of the X-files... lots of people saying "I don't WANT to believe".
The fact of the matter is that a vast majority of you lack any relevant education whatsoever, don't understand the most basic principles of science, and on top of all that, aren't particularly bright either.
It is a simple and undeniable fact that among scientists working in fields related to climate, an overwhelming majority support the theory that humans are partly responsible for climate change. Yes, some scientists disagree with the majority. By definition, however, these are a minority (duh).
Now, I know fuck all about the subject. The same, in all likelihood, goes for you. (and yes, if you don't have a phd in a relevant field and aren't actively researching the issue as a full time job, that does include you) When you know fuck all about a subject, disagreeing with the experts on the subject is pretty damn stupid. Not because they can't be wrong, but because you simply lack the knowledge to make an informed judgement.
The only sensible option is to recognize the basic facts for what they are. That is to say, to recognize the fact that most experts in the field support this particular theory, and that there is a minority in the scientific community that disagrees with them.
Now, with regards to the original poster - are you seriously that fucking dense? There are thousands and thousands of scientists researching this, and every single one of them would be able to come up with a seemingly reasonable argumentation for either side of this discussion that nobody without years of study in a relevant field could refute.
"Well, the scientific community has been studying this issue for decades, with people spending their entire lives researching it, but hell, I read this one-page article on the internet, and I tell ya, it makes sense!"
Fucking rednecks...

Exchange "article" for "documentary" in the last part, and it sums up this thread.
