flyerny, The point I am trying to get across is that the issue has become extremely political. None of the political hucksters from energy companies to Gore are telling the whole truth, but rather they are selling a line of political crap.
Rather than call each other names or try to stereotype people because they happen to disagree, I would much rather talk about the actual problem and solutions devoid of politics.
To call any forecast or solution definitive at this time is just wrong.
Here is my last article by a very well respected MIT climatologist, and I'm sure it represents a very balanced view and comments on the politics of BOTH sides of this debate.
Take a little time to read it if you are interested, it is too long to post here but not a difficult article.I think most of you will agree it is fair in all respects.
