Amen. If the facts change, shouldn't opinions? Since this thread is posted under Current Events I feel a small amount (a very small amount) of guilt not posting my "intelligent" opinion on global warming, and all I really want to say is that I am exhausted hearing about it, and though I loved reading this article, I felt a little full when I was done.

if true, what about all of you that were disagreeing with him before the NEW facts?

You mean when the reactionary politics were taking place?

Because some of the very points he made about why the science was bad are the very questions I posed months ago. That said, I'm not sure back-patting is necessarily in order because there were obvious problematic questions that anyone should have picked up on if they hadn't already made up their mind or been swept up in the hysteria.

These facts disprove your side's theory. It was always a theory, never proven.

Taking global warming out of it, would everyone agree that there is high amounts of global pollution going on? the reason I support a lot of the trends that have been brought on by "Global Warming" is because it was going to help with global pollution, which I find to be something we can control.
