[DonRotolo]

I don't entirely disagree with Dan, but I'm not sure he got my point, which is (paraphrased) Yes, the climate is changing, but is it caused by Mankind's activity or not? I think "the climate is changing" has been well-established in science.

While his response is passionate - and I respect his views - in many people's minds any obvious misstatement of fact tends to nullify the entire argument by degrading the perceived validity of the other arguments. (Read that carefully) This is not to attack his views, but his methodology of expressing them.

I do appreciate everyone's restraint on this hot-button topic, and I am sincerely fascinated by these opinions. Keep 'em coming!
