Damnit Urbi! We are on more important things that wasting billions of our tax dollars! We are talking about takin out the Castro brothers!!! Get on board here man! WHAT THE HELL??? hahaha Kidding Urbs.
At the risk of hijacking Kuzi's rant about free speech, I'd say this about global warming. I'm not smart enough to have an intelligent thought about it. The perponderance of evidence I've heard and read would point to global warming with some significant level of human influence. But I think it's one of those things that is so utterly complex, we'll look back 25 or 50 years from now (if we're not burnt to crispies) and laugh at what we thought we knew (one way or another).
I agree with Luko that this just feels like one of those things where we'll eventually look back at what we thought we knew, and laugh. Kind of like "the world is flat," or "God created the universe" (ok, I threw that second one out there to get a rise out of people.. focus.. focus). However, in the interim, we are only equipped to rely on the experts in the field. Specifically, the scientists whose job it is to conduct research and made a determination with respect to global warming are the only ones with a credible view on the subject. A majority of those scientists feel global warming is real, and that human behavior is a substantial cotributing factor. So I'll have to listen to that, as it is the only rational course of action. All other beliefs, while potentially correct, rely on propaganda put forth by people with political objectives.

My only arguement to that is that many of the beliefs that Global Warming IS our fault also rely on propaganda put forth by people with political objectives. I read a story a few months ago that said NASA found signs that the Earth may be entering a cooling period despite Global Warming. They said the overal temperatures in key arctic regions had been edging gradually downward over the last few years and that they found large areas of new growth to glaciers. The same day I also read a story reporting that Global Warming is something that we can not change because we have already done too much damage and it will take 1,000 years of ZERO polution to correct itself... It's an issue we will debate and argue about until the entire planet either melts or freezes solid...
