The truth to this lies somewhere between Al Gore and Rush Limbaugh.

and along that spectrum, a hell of a lot closer to Gore

except its not a political issue....global warming has massive bipartisan support and when you see that happening on an "issue" generally its truth
i can take a phrase thats rarely heard...flip it....now its a daily word

igy gettin it done like warrick

im the board pharmacist....always one step above yous

I didn't say it was political.  The Al Gore point of view is that we are in a near-hopeless death spiral of global warming.  The Rush Limbaugh point of view is that it's all a bunch of hooey.

The real truth is in between those two extremes.  Period.

That is one of the middle-road points of view.

Again, the problem is that due to popular culture and "An Inconvenient Truth", anyone that even questions the ridiculous extremes presented by some alarmists is labeled an extremist or an earth-hater right off the bat.

farging politically correct yahoos, the lot of them.

if SD's teacher says global warming is make believe, I don't really know how you can argue with that.

Cerevant

On one side, 1200 scientists from countries all over the world presenting peer-reviewed research.

On the other side, individuals presenting contradictory, anecdotal evidence.

Hmmm...
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

There's absolutely no correlation between man and global warming. The fact that it started at the same time as the industrial revolution and man's greatest concerted effort to produce CO2 is purely coincidental. Purely.

Thanks for proving my point, all.

The Industrial Revolution started around 1750. Weather temperatures have only been being kept for the last 100-150 years, not to mention thermometers have gotten a heck of a lot more accurate and there was no satellite data until 30-40 years ago. I'd also like to remind everyone the Earth is 4.6 Billion years old.

I'd think a Professor that teaches an Environmental Conservation class knows a little more than a bunch of Eagles fans posting on CF.
