Answer 2

I agree with Jim Z. There are no credible scientists who would calim that global warming is NOT happening. The proof is everywhere, but mainly the regression of glaciers, and Ice cores taken from glacial ice. The debate is the impact that Man has had on global warming. The simple fact is that we are coming OUT of an ice age, and that Man HAS had an impact on the temperature of the Earth. The question is how big an impact we have had.

To answer your last question, I personally believe that there is no way to determine the positive or negative impact of global warming. There are ways to argue both positive and negative. On the positive, it will expand the habitable climate for people and certain types of plants and animals. The negative is that it will cause a reduction and possible extinction of animals living in colder environment. Claiming a positive or negative from global warming is a matter of perspective. I guess I am saying that as a geologist, I do not have a feeling one way or the other about it because global warming is something that simply is. I will say that if Man has had a major impact on global warming, then I think it is a negative thing because we are not being responsible stweards of our environment.

Answer 3

The problem is that there are zealots who push the man-induced global warming pseudoscience to the extent that they try to ruin the careers of any scientist that dares to have a different opinion but even so, there are numerous scientist that courageously do differ. Most global warming zealots seem more interested in preaching about global warming and getting grant money, than they are in researching or looking at it objectively in my opinion. The scare mongers believe that only those who are skeptical of the claims are tainted by money, in this case from oil companies, but the government grants seem to steer the science and the scarier the conclusions, the more money is thrown at it. This tends to give a Darwinian advantage to the scare monger's science fiction of global warming.
