While this thread has taken an interesting turn, I feel that most of the recent posts would be better suited for the thread,
"The Solutions to Global Warming include...".
That being said...
It was mentioned that the climate change issue is simple, but is complicated by denialists and such. I disagree. I believe it's precisely the complexity of climate that leads to the "AM radio nuts" misunderstanding and propagation of skepticism in the face of facts. Indeed, we might not even be typing in this thread if the issue was so easy to digest.
As disturbing as I find the claims of the denialists, I find equal resentment in CC proponents that blindly follow scientific claims without fully understanding the studies and experiments conducted to reach their conclusions (this is not directed at anyone here btw).
So, when it's all said and done, education is the key.
As such, I view this thread as a forum where denialists can state their claims or objections (scientifically of course), and those that have more knowledge on the subject can refute these claims and guide these people towards the current scientific stance on the subject (which is never one-sided). So while it may be frustrating to continually deal with the same objections and naive assertions from denialists, I feel it is the duty of the scientific community to address these issues in the hope that education will spread and eventually the objections slow to a trickle.
Bring it on!
