    I know where your coming from DB but the problem is that the people who have to make the decisions (government, business and communities) have reviewed the available evidence and decided that the potential impacts of climate change far outweigh any localised issues such as water pollution (although they are actually inextricably linked).

    I would love for a person/organisation to step up to the plate with sufficient evidence to make a counter position on climate change plausible and workable.

    luckily for most people they are not in the business of making long-term, strategic decisions that have major implications for society.....

    p.s. I'm not a big fan of earth day but not for the same reasons as styleplus.

    • I keep reading stories of large groups of scientists opposing the idea Global Warming but stories like these never seem to get much attention.designbot
    • the attention they deserve. So I am with you, there should be a counter position allowed to get the "air-time" so-to-speak.designbot
    • It has been debated for 20 years. I don't think it is as one sided as you think. I think the issue has snowballed towards almost full consensuslowimpakt
    • consensus. BUT I would love if it was wrong. i'd love if I was wrong so I actively try to find counter evidence..lowimpakt

    • I created a thread with a link to a document with over 17,200 scientists who dispute global warming. The link in the original thread is broken now, but this article refers to it.designbot
