plekhanov Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I don’t pretend to understand many of the scientific disputes involved in this subject to any great degree but it seems pretty clear that a overwhelming majority of disinterested scientific voices are convinced that climate change is real, that we’re causing it and that the effects will be unpredictable and could easily be very unpleasant both for us and our ecosystem. In contrast the main voices to the contrary are those that don’t want it to be true because dealing with this ‘inconvenient truth’ (to use the name of Gore’s film) will make their lives more complicated and those who have a clear commercial interest in the fossil fuel industry. This is enough to convince me that climate change is real, that it’s our fault and that we should take action to try and limit the damage we’re doing.

Yes it's true we go through Ice Ages and Warm Ages but we've managed to screw things up and alter the weather patterns faster than anytime ever!!!
