The only people I've ever seen claim that global warming is junk science are people who are not scientists. People who work in other areas for a living that are not connected to science.
Not trying to be underhanded at all. But to me it's like someone claiming to know everything there is to know about law because they've watched some Law and Order episodes.
Also, why is it whenever a scientist does say global warming is real, people instantly say it's junk, mainly because they don't agree with it?
Everyone puts out bogus stats, even the gun crowd. For example, the NRA will harp about Chicago having so many gun deaths after guns were made illegal. What they won't say is the number of handgun deaths went down drastically in Chicago after guns were made illegal.
Both sides stretch the truth on issues no matter what the issues are. The quest is to find common ground. I'm just saying I don't think either side of the global warming issue should just sit there and say the other side is full of crap.
There is not much doubt now that global warming is real. What is in doubt is whether it's caused by us, or just a natural earth cycle. I think it may just be another natural earth cycle. But to just dismiss it as junk science I think is arrogant.
As long as both sides of any debate remain arrogant and argumentative, nothing positive is ever going to be accomplished.
