Ok, here's what I don't get. You guys do all these crazy things to try and stop global warming, yet have any of you ever acutally seen the polar ice caps melt. And seeing it on a movie in a paper or just hearing about it doesn't coun't. It doesn't count because all of those could have been faked. They could have just drilled a hole into the ice cap planted a small charge of dynamite, set it off and them film it and say the caps are melting, while watching the giant slab of ice fall into the water. Well you say that scientists have shown data. Well let me tell you this, welcome to reality , PEOPLE LIE TO GET WHAT THEY WANT!! I mean some sientists could have made some models, and drew up some fake charts. And in reality 97% of statistics are made up. And the article above, there is stuff in there that is taken out of contex. I quote"Climate Change Denier: I don't think climate change is a big deal because blah blah blah blah blah." Seriously, if youre not ging to listen to what he says you're just being ingorant. And just becayse a scientist hasn't won a Nobel Prize doen't mean that he doesn't know what he's talkibg about.
Plus that one scientist, Yvo de Boer, he had no had facts in his statement it was all in his own personal opinion.
So in reality until you see the polar icecaps meling up close and in person and conduct your own studies on reliable sources you can't prove anything.

Umm... What's your position on evolution Chuck? Or how about gravity? Or cancer?
I cant see any of those, but I can see the effects. And I trust the scientific work that's gone into understanding each of them.
Same thing with global warming. More reading for you here.
