"I am not an expert. You are not an expert. I think the experts are right. You think the experts are wrong. Do you see how my position could be considered somewhat stronger than yours? "
Sorry Final-Fan, but Happy Squirrel nuked your argument in advance. Global warming models are highly analogous to the mathematical models used to create the sub-prime financial crisis. In that case, the expert opinion was unequivocally proven wrong. That includes some of the smartest, most handsomely paid people in the world.
The problem with the scientific pro-Global Warming side is that it's every bit as self-interested as the PR line from an oil company executive. My simple, rudimentary understanding of human nature tells me to be skeptical, no equations needed.
And from a common sense point of view, depletion will become the limiting factor to human population growth long before pollution.
