Okay, Necratoid, HMelton, a question?
What will it take to get you to beleive that Global Climate Change is real. How much evidence do you need? Does Manhattan have to be under five feet of water?
It is evident that you will not accept any degree of actual evidence. No matter how much the sceintific community gives you. You won't beleive either a) vitually the entire sceintific community or b) Exxon-Mobil (you know, them admitting the existence of Global Climate Change is one of the reasons this thread started) or other major oil companies.
Does God himself have to appear and say "Hey guys, stop turning up the temperature, okay?" Cause that ain't gonna happen.
It's almost funny, watching you grasp at straws. Oh look, over here, the temperature of Mars is changing? Haha. Oh look, there is one sceintist who is questioning the methods. Never mind that the information he is dismissing is entirely secondary to the actual point. That, in fact, the change in the thermodynamic systems of the planet is part of the reason Global Climate Change is such a big issue. That the slow but steady change in systems such as the gulf stream and major ocean currents and on and on have been documented ad naeuseum. No, this brave sceintist has taken a factor that is generally considered to be secondary and bravely said its secondary! Haha!
Oh look, once upon a time sceince was wrong! Ah no! It is possible for sceintists to be wrong! Obviously we must throw out all evidence we have collected! Let us stop doing research, because things like computers and nuclear reactors and antibiotics have certainly not been useful. This blithely ignores the fact that your strawman arguments are pointless on their face. Yes, at one time heavier-than-air flight was thought imposisble. And you know what the Wright brothers did? They proved otherwise.
I don't see Necratoid doing climate research. I don't see HMelton speaheading exciting new research that will prove all us climate alarmists are left-wings hacks desiring nothing more than to destroy captalism and America.
Here is the unfortunate truth that you will have to accept:
The people who believe in Global Climate Change have made their case. The people who oppose it have made theirs. The evidence for both sides was evulated and studied by some of the most brillaint minds in human history. We won. You lost.
Hundreds of scientists from all over the world agree on this. Are you really saying you are smarter than all of them? That you understand the issue better? Really? Is that what you are saying?
Yes, it is possible they are wrong. Sure. And its possible that the I could win the lottery tomorrow. Its possible that a meteor will smash into the Earth and render this entire debate moot. Its possible that e-mail you got really WAS from a Nigerian prince and he really WILL give you millions of dollars for a small, thousand dollar deposit.
But you know what? I'm just going to keep thinking that when 99.9% of the evidence says one thing, that one thing is (if not totally, then for all instents and purposes) true. But evidently I have a smaller threshold for belief than you do. So I'll reiterate:
What will it take to convince you? Is it even possible?
