But then any reputable scientist who's read Crichton's book points out that what few statistics he mentions have been carefully selected, pruned and taken out of context.
My point is this: I'm not a meteorological scientist. Neither are you. But the entire basis for the scientific method is that consensus rules. Taking into account that 90% of the scientific community believes that global warming is a problem and that most of the other 10% have been sponsored by individuals/companies that have a vested interest in polluting the atmosphere, I'm going to have to go with the majority on this one.
Even if there was some real doubt on global warming, I don't particularly want to take the risk. We should do everything possible to cut CO2 (and other greenhouse gases) emission. And if it turns out we're wrong and global warming is not human-caused, at least we'll have a less polluted planet.
