Debate: Global Warming, Voice Your Honest Opinion
Side: There should be action taken.

Oh yes, scientists accused of adjusting data refute that claim and say the emails were hacked. Therefore they must be telling the truth. Please.You're a child-molesting pedophile. False and ignorant accusations are just that. When you go over the three or so emails that have become central to skeptical accusation, you'll realize that they've been taken out of context. Would you like me to explicate?Now you're being obtuse, Al Gore, for example owns the carbon credits company, so if people believe his film, then he will make more money.Is Al Gore the only person skeptics are capable of naming? I get that he's a poster child for criticism; he represents the policy ramifications of global warming. And you guys can't argue against anything but the policy ramifications. Al Gore is one man. His movie Inconvenient Truth was accurate on principle and much of the science as well. Some of it is/was wrong. Calling it alarmist is excessive. And again, the main advocacy group of global warming are the scientists. Don't confuse the "loudest" proponents with the most important and substantive group.Go criticize this paper: A Weather type Approach to Analyzing Winter Precipitation in France: Twentieth-Century Trends and the Role of Anthropogenic ForcingLooks like you did.I was only describing what a hole in the ozone layer is. Well as, according to you, the common opinion is the science, it would seem that I am.Come on now, stop putting words in my mouth.More than 17,000 scientists have signed a petition circulated by the Oregon Institute of Science and MedicineI've known about the OISM since the first version of Robinson's et al. article was circulated in the Journal of Physicians and Medicine. But I'll take that. It's at ~30,000 now. And that number still only accounts for approximately 0.3% of scientists by the OISM's own definition of applicable scientists (anyone with a BA degree and up in a science field, even if that counts people in irrelevant fields of study like computer science or engineering). Lists like this don't mean much to me. What's important is the corresponding data provided in the Robin et al. article that underpins the petition letter that irrelevant people are signing, and that is more than substandard as an "accurate" representation of the summary of the evidence.That is not my point. My point is that this is just another scientific scare that will come to nothing, just like the Bird and Swine Flu 'Pandemics'.Jesum peasum. "Pandemic" only means that an infectious disease is spreading in human populations over large tracts of land. Both avian and swine flu were communicable, occurred in human populations and spanned massive mileage. The big hoo-ha over swine flu, particularly, was that there was needed precaution if it was similar to the H1N1 virus that hit the globe in the early 20th century and killed between 40 and 100 million people. It was important for organizations like the CDC to make sure that people were as prepared as possible for a similar strain of the H1N1 virus. See the 1918 flu Pandemic. Fortunately it wasn't the subtype that hit the globe in the 1900s. But, we know that there's a precedent for catastrophe. So there's every reason to raise alarms when shit can and has in history hit the proverbial fan.
