No one can deny that the entire debate is heavily political and the motivation for people to choose either side is primarily based on issues unrelated to global warming.


Oh, I see. You're just saying you're loyal to Bush. I don't like politization of scientific issues, be it the democrats or the republicans. In Europe there's no political devide in scientific issues.


 

You do realize that I'm not an American, right?

Generally speaking, when the media as a whole takes a side on an issue I research the opposing view point. In both the coverage of "Global Warming" as well as the case to go to war in Iraq the media (as a whole) has focused more on ensuring that the general public is terrified than on ensuring the public is well informed. Regardless of the issue it seems that the media hides conflicting information and presents the issue in the most extreme way to make you afraid to not watch the news.
