Maybe I should post some pictures of the antartic or Alaska

This is my biggest gripe with global warming

* Q - "ah, but what about the scientific consensus?" A - this is foolish, we know too little to form any consensus in any direction.

We dont have near enough knowledge and the cure could be worse than the disease. Its not like it threatens to end the world or man kind. Better to learn to adapt than play god. The earth will change drasticly no matter what we do.

We're doing something actively to increase global temperatures. I find it odd that you can at the same time say we don't know anything about it, and that we still should continue to actively work to do something we don't know if it will increase temperatures by 5 degrees or 30 degrees in the coming 10 years of the coming 30 years.
