Re: Climate change maybe?
Deathgodusmc, you asked about how the scientific community has done its due diligence to make sure that their conclusions about global warming are accurate (i.e. not "it's happening exactly this fast and will have exactly this effect" but "we have very good reasons with scientific backup to believe that it's happening and that it will be bad and something that it's worth us working together and spending money to fix"). I and a number of others before me answered you. What is your problem with our answer? Do you not trust the process through which scientists write up results of their research and then have it peer reviewed by other scientists and then published, where other scientists can disprove it if they can? That's how science is done. This is not just a single set of data, researcher, and peer review but THOUSANDS of of different sets of data, researchers, and peer reviews. Do you think that the scientific method is inherently flawed? Is there any possible way to convince you that AGW exists, short of taking you 100 years into the future and showing you what happened?

Do i think they are trying to get rich fooling the world? No i don't but i do think they are leaving some information out purposely because it does not go with their what they want. Which would give the other side of the table a leg to stand on.
I'll even give that changing our ways isn't a bad thing.

Far to many variables to even try it and be taken seriously.
I'm not asking for anyone to convince me. I started this thread because it seemed like many are on the fence about the topic and i wanted people to discuss it and see where everyone was at. Instead it turned into a thread about how if you don't believe in AGW 100% then you just don't understand the topic.
Graphs, charts, and reports do not make a topic like this 100% proven. Still just the best guess we can make. Funny i always thought that was important if you did not know you strive to find out to the best of your ability but instead it's more like here is our information if you don't believe it 100% your an creationists or conspiracy theorist. So much for critical thinking in the future for this country. Appearntly it only applies if you agree.

I'm still waiting for any of the numerous scientist writing in this forum to tell me how long ( months,years, decades,century) will it take to reach an optimal climate if every recommendation is implemented. :3
Edit: I'm pretty sure I know the answer but some readers may not, is climatology an exact science and would the measures to control it be exact?
