"I admit that, at this point in time, I am not expecting to have my view changed" "I don't know. I didn't say I knew. I did say "...when I decide..." " You seem too conflicted to discuss this! But anyway - currrently the sun is hotter, other planets (without peolple) are currently hotter to match the suns increased output, Throughout time the earth has constantly gone through cooling and warming cycles, All the indications of man-made global warming are from computer models and my weatherman can barely predict next weeks weather let alone 25 years from now, The people pushing global warming are alarmists, The people who are pressing the need to curtail human activity to fix this problem are mostly liberal big government types and they always need a crisis. I'm sure others could expand this list greatly. I've listed some of my reasons - Now I repeat - Please list your big reasons for believing.

[j a] How do you know that the crowd is correct on global warming being caused by human activities? What are the big reasons that you accept it? I don't know. I didn't say I knew. I did say "...when I decide..." And I decide on the basis of the many reports I see and on my assessment of the probability of their being correct. You seem rather determined that I am in error. How do you know that I am in error? What is your proof that you are correct? How do you decide that the overwhelming majority of the world's scientists are wrong? What is your explanation for the observed temperature rise? I am intrigued that among the many points I made in response to your original question, the above is the only point upon which you comment.
