Debate: So..., you still believe in global warming, huh?
Side: Yeah, why not?

Scientific evidence = factThat's what evidence is...facts. Your issue seems to be with how I'm interpretting the facts. So let's make this debate easier and lay them out on the table.1. The earth is warming.2. This warming is unprecedented in recent history.Evidence for 1 and 23. This warming is being caused by greenhouse gasses.4. Humans are putting out significantly more greenhouse gasses than is natural.Okay, so now we have the facts. If there are any of these that you dispute, please say so, so that we can debate the evidence.The reason I brought up Democrats is because, them and the liberal media are the ones saying: "it's their fault, it's those Chevy suburban driving republicans, get them!" [paraphrasing of course]I'm pretty sure that you have been watching way to much FAUX news. What the media is showing is that a) a lot of people in the U.S. drive SUVs (democrats and republicans, I drive an FJ Cruiser) and b) that it is contributing to global warming.None of this, however, has anything to do with global warming.Ignoring the hypocrisy of you saying "I'm not a parrot" and then quoting Glen Beck, I'm happy that you finally presented some evidence. My only suggestion would be that Glen Beck is not a scientist and, therefore not a very trust worthy source. In addition we have 3 hundred million people in this country each driving an average of about 15,000 miles a year. This still doesn't add up to Glen Becks numbers, but then again I'm not sure how much I trust Beck's numbers.Either way, if a significant number of Americans conserved fuel it would still make an impact.You are also arguing that we need to get China involved in the effort to cut back on greenhouse gasses... and I completely agree! And guess what Obama is doing?In order to convince other nations to cut back on greenhouse gasses, however, we have to show that we are serious about it first. America should be the moral leader on all things, and this is no exception.Also, I don't think policy, or law should be formed around such a controversial subject. It's not controversial in the scientific community, only in the sphere of public opinion. Every major scientific body is in agreement that humans are causing global warming. Does that sound very controversial?Now time for the website.Obviously I can't go through every single argument in the entire site and tell you why it's wrong, so how about we do this. I'll choose a random one, and then you choose one and I'll prove to you why they're both poor arguments. Deal?Me first:I choose the sea ice argument, which can be read here and here.So the argument is, sea ice in the north pole has increased back to the level it was at 1980, so therefore there can't be any warming occurring, and the whole global warming thing is a hoax.The problem with this argument is that it only deals with the area of ice and not the volume. Take this time to look back at the website so that you can see what I'm talking about. You will also notice that it takes the readings from January, when the ice sheets are at their maximum after having refrozen. In the summer, the thinner ice melts faster, meaning that readings from the summer months would be more indicative of the overall amount of ice in the polar caps.When we look at the volume of ice we see that the ice sheets are in fact getting thinner. The amount of perennial ice has been decreasing despite the fact that the area of ice in the winter months is about the same as it was in 1980.The source I have is not an overtly biased site with questionable facts, but the National Snow and Ice Center. Their website is here and here is a graph from them that shows the area of arctic ice year round, as opposed to just the winter month.I know a lot of very smart people, non of them think global warming is happening.Well, I'm guessing that none of them are climatoligists. It's not their fault, but I'm guessing that they just don't know all the facts. Chances are they have heard a lot of misinformation from sources they trust (not unlike you). However, those smart people who do study the facts have overwhelmingly come to the conclusion that global warming is happening, and that it is being caused by humans. Maybe, you can even be the one to show them that they are wrong.So Jake, let me repeat, it doesn't matter if you're a democrat or a republican...the facts don't care about your ideology. You clearly just went to the first site you found that disputed global warming and linked to it, without reviewing the facts. Well I have reviewed the facts. I'm kind of a science nerd. I read articles and watch videos about the subject in my spare time (really geeky, I know). If you want to know more check out this really interesting youtube channel. On it, a lot of myths about global warming are debunked. Here is a from the channel about the ice sheets:
