Ha. When you mess with a scientist, you get the science.
It's really sad that there is an illusion of a controversy about this issue. The data points to the fact that the climate is changing, and global atmospheric and ocean temperatures are increasing. The controversy regards how much is due to C02 and how quickly it will continue to rise. I think most people aren't aware of the fact that historically speaking, on average, we are in a cool period for the earth. The arctic has been balmy and the equator has been under ice. There's no reason to think that big shifts won't happen again. The earth does it all the time. I like NASA's climate change site: http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/
