Shams, I am very interested in why you believe in AGW. What proof have you been shown and what research into the issue have you done? What specific piece of information made you believe so strongly? 

Why won't you show any links? Your statement about virtually every scientist being in accord is in my opinion false. There is a very large debate still raging about what the actual cause of climate change is. For example, two websites often quoted in the debate include http://www.climateaudit.org/ and http://www.realclimate.org/, both sites include contributors with scientific backgrounds, including climatologists, and yet the two sites hold opposing views.

I think one of the problems with this debate is exemplified with your answer to question 1. You admit you would ignore and laugh at anyone who disagrees with the idea of AGW, and yet how can there be a scientific process if anyone disagreeing is ignored?

I would love to have a long and indepth debate on this, but I (unfortunately) don't have time. I am writing this from work, and there is plenty of work that needs to be done (then we have a long weekend, and I have friends from interstate here - so may not visit VGchartz again till Tuesday).

I can't show any links (quickly), because I don't trawl the web looking for articles on this. If you want links - use Google, that is where I would get them from.

I get most of my information on this from the TV - not from the web. As I mentioned, I have been following AGW (in general) for a long, long time - and have been very disapointed that it has taken as long as it has for governments to act (their are popular quotes of leaders 10 years ago saying EXACTLY the same things are leaders are saying now).

I guess the "laugh" comment was a bit harsh (I was a little rushed for time when I wrote it), but that's how I fee. I haven't seen ANY evidence to DISPROVE AGW - and as we all know, its MUCH, MUCH easier to disprove something than it is to prove something.

So if someone wants to argue against AGW to myself - I will first ask them to collect "proof", then bring it to me and we can discuss it.

(I'm also slightly cynical, as I am a strong athiest - and the ONLY arguments I have heard against AGW have involved topics such as Noah, God, The Bible, etc...).

...

Now I want to know... how about YOU answer your first post. Do you believe in AGW?
