And that’s all I’m going to say about that, because I have no desire to waste my time trying to convince the unconvincible.

I do much the same as WT Sharpe, but I came to a different conclusion a year or two ago. I don't know if global warming is occuring or not, but I don't believe the science is settled and find it extremelly disturbing that dissenting voices are ignored, ridiculed, and referred to as "deniers" as in holocaust deniers. I also could not understand the practice of not providing dissenters with the data and models the science was based upon. This was all before the emails from Jones, et. al. were released.
