Can you ever have a discussion about global warming without hearing some of these statements?
- Scientists can't agree on what's happening and they should know.
- It's normal to have short term spikes in the weather.
- There are many advantages to a warmer climate.
- As for me, I won't miss the cold winters.
- Why do you think they call it Greenland. It used to be green.
There's always someone that's ready to put forth an arguement, sometimes even a compelling one, against global warming.
If you're confused about the whole global warming debate then you really need to take a look at Coby Beck's great series of articles on How To Talk To A Climate Skeptic. Just be warned. There's well over 100 arguements being made against global warming. Luckily, the series is grouped nicely into categories for easy reference. You'll find rebuttals to "Inadequate Evidence", "No Consensus", "Kyoto is a Waste of Time" and many more.
