  Inconvenient Fiction

  Look, the science debate is over. People cause global warming, it's real, and it's becoming severe. Yes, scientists are still debating global warming, the finer points. That's what scientists do, keep debating the issue until everything is known about it, which takes a very long time. But the agreement in the scientific community is unprecedented that we are causing global warming. What they are debating is:
   - how fast will we heat up?
   - are there tipping points for the climate and what are they? (Like will the north Atlantic Conveyor, "Gulf Stream", stop?)
   - how fast will the Greenland and West Antartic Ice Sheets melt? (They thought that the Larson B ice shelf in Antarctica was good for another hundred years. Then it broke up (it was the size of Rhode Island / Belgium) in 35 days. Oops. So maybe Greenland and the WAIS are melting faster than we think too?)
   - how are species affected by the changing climate (when the caterpillars hatch earlier, the birds don't necessarily have their young earlier, so the food supply that used to be there is not, etc. complex.)

  If you think some claims are true, or are not sure. go to www.RealClimate.com They review a lot of the stuff that gets issued, including Gore's movie. They are not associated with Gore.

  Let's stop avoiding the issue, hoping that thousands of scientists are wrong, and start putting our efforts into solving this!

  Enough electrons...
