I will ask this question again and I hope to receive an sincere answer: WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY DO MOST ON THIS FORUM TREAT GW AS A POLITICAL ISSUE AND NOT A SCIENTIFIC ISSUE?????????
Most of you have the preconceived notion that GW is a left wing conspiracy to inflict the gospel of environmentalism on the independent-minded. It is unfortunate that many scientists have taken political sides in support of their research. However, climate change and the degree that humans can influence it, has been an area of intense research for decades...long before mainstream media got it`s maggot-ridden meat hooks into it.
As for myself, I cannot and will not say with absolute certainty that human induced climate change is impossible. I have read numerous journal articles and textbooks on the issue for YEARS and throughout all my readings, the only conclusion I can draw is that MORE RESEARCH NEEDS TO BE DONE ON BOTH THE PRO AND CON SIDE. Many well respected scientists have presented HARD TO DISMISS research on both sides. How can we as objective individuals dismiss such research without repeated testing of the proposed hypothesis?
When I was in my 6th grade science class (deja vu ), my teacher would always stress that the lifeforce of science is being open-minded to all possibilities until the rigors of the scientific method proved otherwise. Too many on this forum have chosen to close their mind to a tested scientific hypothesis by allowing their political bias to preclude rational thinking. Most of us have accepted the theory that climate change was a common occurence throughout the last 4.6 billion yrs. However, the mere mentioning of human induced or human influenced climate change and the country is ready to go to civil war.
Curiosity yields evolution...satiety yields extinction.
