Why is this issue dividing people? Yes, there is a consensus that the world is getting warmer. Yes, a majority of scientists attribute this to human-made causes, while a vocal minority of scientists disagree. There is a healthy debate among them, and at this point, it is unclear which camp is correct.
But let us look at this logically - which false-positive has the greatest potential of damage?
Even if those against man-made global warming ARE correct, by doing something now we can (a) stimulate the economy with developing alternative fuels sources and (b) reduce health problems associated with pollution.
But if those who don't believe in man-made global warming are INCORRECT....the downside is MUCH MUCH greater.
So what is the big deal? The answer seems pretty obvious....it shouldnt be a partisan issue.
