The politics of science is often more important than the science
itself. It's a proven fact that the Earth is undergoing a period of
global warming, and that it's caused by the influence of man on the
environment. But politics plays the game that such facts are nothing
more than speculations made by a few fringe researchers looking to get
their names in the journals.

There has been no conclusive proof that global warming is primarily
the result of man's influence over the environment.


Yes, there is indeed conclusive proof.

No there isn't, for the simple reason that we do not have enough
climatic history to determine just how and when the climate shifts
normally as a reference before we can accurately gauge the additional
effects of humans.


How did life come to be? Who cares? The only fact we know is that it
-does- exist. So let's just make the most of it while it lasts.


Existentialism. IMHO a rather selfish and closed mindset.


Gee, and I thought you said that you were a realist.

I am. But I'm not so close minded that I'm just going to "accept" that
I exist and not ponder why.
