    I'm definitely not set in stone on this issue (and the reason I don't own a car isn't really because of global warming, although I like to think it helps a little to pollute less).

    What annoys me about this is people on the other side don't seem to care about the facts. I totally realize there are a minority of actual, credible scientists who don't think the global warming over the past 100 years is caused by humans.

    Just like there are a minority arguing an alternative to pretty much any scientific theory. But no one in this thread has posted any of those arguments.

    Instead, you just jump on the first thing you find that agrees with your point of view, no matter how ridiculous it is.

    Then basically saying, well, OK, the majority of scientific organizations in the world say it's true, but, on the other hand, some ex-insurance agent turned meterologist in Oregon says it's not, so it must be 50/50.

    This is a recipe for stupidity and the ability of powerful interests to deceive people by throwing money at a problem. Because it means that cheering on your side has become more important than actually looking at the facts. And if this isn't true, then someone explain to me why almost every single Republican out there, is a global warming denier.

    • I think an important point of all this ukit, is just because someone is skeptical or opposed to man made global warming does not mean that they are against protecting the environment.designbot
    • does not mean that they are against protecting the environment. So in the end, it seems like a moot point.designbot

    • No, they just think money is more important.DrBombay
