Then how do you justify your own opinion aside from a funny feeling in your gut?
As far as meaningful debate is concerned, the truth is out there. If you expect to become informed through TV news then of course there isn't meaningful debate.
the only claim the anti-global warming crowd has against science and academia boils down to name calling.
My question is how is YOUR lifestyle different from me? We both drive, heat our house, fly and use electricity. Until you show me that you live in a 1000 sq ft. apartment, use 200KWH of electricity every month, use 1 tank of gas a month, don't fly around in jets etc. etc, you are simply another academician that is lecturing the rest of the people how to live. Just today Obama hedged on agreeing to the latest UN climate talk demands on the grounds of recession. Beginning to like the man more everyday.
