Please show me where I attacked you personally? I don't even know you, but
I can guess.

You have not presented much in the way of "evidence."


Yes I have.

Global warming is happening.


What is the time span of this warming? How long will it continue? What will
cause it to stop.

Human beings are responsible for much of it.


The earth has been much warmer in the past. In fact, the temperature
fluctuates with known periodic cycles. The one problem is that there were no
humans around during previous temperature increases. What caused the earth
to warm up then?

Here's a possibility: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/milankovitch.html

How do you know the earth is warming?

How do you know humans are the cause of it?


The ice sheets of the world are melting a lot faster than we originally
thought. Those are the facts. It's time to do something about it.


You were just presented with data showing the Greenland icecap and Antartic
ice caps are getting thicker. Those are facts too.

So what should we do about it?

How do you know the correction we do won't launch us into an ice age?

You're a lot more than all ears. But, being a gentleman I won't say what
else is the larger contribution.


A real gentleman would have carried on the conversation and answered the
question rather than allude to a personal attack. Any discussion with you
(by anyone) winds up with you flinging personal attacks. Is that the
hallmark of a gentlemen?

I have not attacked you in any way. I've presented factual scientific
evidence, for both sides no less, and somehow you feel threatened.

Life is tough enough already, why make it tougher?
