Well said regarding scientific method. And for the record, there really is no empirical proof that humanity has done a thing to CAUSE global climate change. There is evidence we have EXACERBATED it, but going through geological history shows that GCC is part of a natural cycle that existed long before we did and will exist long after we’re gone. And nothing we do can stop or even slow it down; it’s literally fighting a force of nature. Not that I don’t support what people tout as ways of combating it; I do, but for reasons far more practical and tangible: air pollution, cost of fuel, ecological preservation, economics, etc. At this rate it won’t be anything like GCC that kills us, it will be turning our planet into a toxic hellhole, economic collapse, a lack of food and potable water, or even some petty dictator doing something really stupid out of a hissy fit (::cough:: Kim Jong-Il ::cough::).
