Global Warming, real or not, and if real, the fault of mankind, or not.
This might be an emotional subject for some, especially when some of us have kids/grandkids that will very likely have to deal with what we leave them after we have become wormfood.
We are all (hopefully) rational adults here, so I see no need to attack each other for our own (rightfully) individual views.There is alot of conflicting info out there on the subject, anecdotal info, and data backed by scientific method. Debating the merits of that info/data is part of the scientific process. Attacking each other serves no porpose but to make each other retreat farther into our respective corners, closing our minds to rational (and healthy) debate.Please keep it clean, and family oriented per the T.O.S.

It is what it is...

It's shame you felt you had to remove the rational debate along with the personal attacks. The conflicting information needs to be brought out into the open so that people can understand the scientific process and to learn how to separate out the FUD and politics from the science. You have thrown the baby out with the bathwater
