A few people in the thread about the 2008 US presidential election mentioned this might be a good debate and I agree. So I'm curious to know:

1. Do you believe in Anthropogenic Global Warming (from here on labelled as AGW)?
2. What are you reasons for believing/disbelieving?
3. How do you feel about the IPCC?
4. How do you feel about proponents/opponents to the theory?
5. What proof can you show one way or the other (Links would be good here)

 

1/ Definitely, 100%. Have so for years (about 15), and will literally laugh/ignore anyone who doesn't.

2/ I believe in science, rather than fantasy (non-science).

3/ Who are they?

4/ I think they are dangerous fools. Just about everyone I know/have met recently believes in AGW as well. The last person (on the radio) I heard that didn't believe, quoted something along the lines of "Noah survived the great flood, and God is causing this" or something like that (not exact).

5/ Not going to show links, but the fact that virtually every related scientist is united on the existance of AGW - is proof enough for me.

I'm pretty passionate about this topic :P. I think this is one of the most (if not the most) important challenges for our species, AND the planet. I believe this is nothing short of a "slow-effect/rate extinction level event" (or close to a ELE).
