Re: OK which is it Global Warming or Cooling?

The thing is, as you say, only real experts can even understand the science
of climatology. It's too arcane for non scientists to fathom. I find this
all the time in fields where it takes real specialized education to know
what people are even saying. I've seen lectures on computer science and
mathematics where I didn't have any idea what they were talking about. I'm
certain that I would be just as clueless trying to decipher complicated
papers on climatology. But that's the whole point isn't it. When things are
over the heads of us commoners we have to defer to the experts. On the issue
of global warming what are the vast majority of the real experts saying.
Yep, it's real. We're doing it with our burning of fossil fuels and we need
to stop right away. I don't have a problem leaving that to the scientists.
What's bothersome to me is when ignorant right wing people; who have no
knowledge at all about the subject, are so sure it's a hoax, and are so
positive in their opinions act like they know what they are talking about.
I'll bet more than half the guys saying it isn't for real have no college
degrees at all but think they understand the subject. That's men for you, I
guess.
