The Global Warming agitators aren't willing to allow their beliefs to be questioned - hence what they are arguing for is not science but their beliefs, i.e. their "religion". Global Warming is happening. It has also happened before, when humans were not present on the planet. It seems remarkably arrogant and highly improbable to assume that it is happening now solely because of us. Science is about having an hypothesis which is testable and falsifiable.

Speak to your most scientific contact and ask them: "Is the fact that global warming is human-caused and avoidable as certain as the millenium bug?"

I wonder if he'll be proved right in 50 years? Oh, I forgot, he'll be dead then.
