The problem with climate change debate, it usually devolves into Republicans and Democrats mocking each other with conflicting information.

I personally believe there is enough conflicting information to defer a judgement. I don't think either proponents or skeptics are wrong for what they believe.

For me, in lieu of more convincing evidence, the rational and practical position is to push back against those that claim climate change is incontrovertible and those who want to impose regulation on our industry.

If or when it becomes more obvious and less political, I am prepared to change my mind.

Clear evidence of global cooling. We will be in an ice age by next summer. Science is cool.

Just wondering....... If all these so called experts really do believe that man has caused this so called "global warming" due to exhaust emissions, why are they pushing their agenda in the US and Europe, and not China, what with all the smog and pollution there?

Hmmm.... Apparently Kool-Aid, Swiss Rolls, Oatmeal Pies or some form of junkfood are a bare necessity / staple of the Atlanta diet, as they appear in just about every picture....

Maybe that's all that was left in the stores? I know every time they utter the word Hurricane down here, all the milk, bread and batteries disappear overnight.

The concerning thing to me about this debate is how science is often disregarded. The overwhelming majority of scientists around the world, who are experts in this field, and have no political motive, agree that climate change is a real phenomenon and is most likely due to man-made pollutions. And it's a dangerous precedence, as an evolved society, to begin disregarding science.

Yes, I know that you can find a few scientists who state that climate change is not real, just like there were doctors and scientist in the 60's who stated that smoking cigarettes doesn't cause cancer. And there are a few "scientists" who don't subscribe to known facts such as evolution, dinosaurs, theoretical physics, etc...

The reason this debate becomes political is because religious prejudices are often underlying in peoples thoughts. I think conservatives on the right don't believe that it's possible for man to actually cause changes to weather patterns in the world.

I think that's a bit of a stretch there Ed. The contrast to that perspective is that democrats on the left believe that man "only" is to blame for changes in the weather patterns.

As with all things, I expect the truth lies somewhere in the middle from a much more moderate perspective. The far radical opinions from either side inhibit mature, respective, logical discussion of the subject.
