Who Believes in Global Warming?

[Blktail]

This debate demonstrates perfectly all that is wrong with the internet. Only a tiny fraction of what can be found on the web is scientificaly verifiable. People believe what they find on their favorite sites. There is more unverified and purely wrong information on the web than peer reviewed data. The ignorant (do not read stupid, there is a huge difference) just don't know how to tell the difference.

Myself, I am not sold either way. I am not a cynic of one side or the other, I just don't believe there is enough data.

I reckon that one way or another people will destroy their environment to the point most of us won't survive. This may take place 10 years from now or 1000 years. I am not betting for 1000. As always, the poor will suffer the most.

If you don't believe me, look at the debate over marijuana. 10,000 sites discussing the benefits far outweigh the 4 or 5 proving the damage done by the crap.

People believe what they want to believe.

If you don't believe that, you don't want to believe that!
