Re: New ice age? Don't count on it
#2With these sorts of articles now I'm never quite sure what to believe.
Now before you jump in to mock me, it's just that I don't have time to keep really up-to-date with climate change anymore. Are we really getting warmer? Are we cooling? What's causing it?
For each article I read that tells me one thing, a few days later another comes out and tells me the previous one was wrong and here's why.
I hope that this article's right and being New Scientist I have a lot more faith in it. I just wish I had more time to understand all the factors of climate change for myself.

And that's what it seems like to me. But everyone writes and discusses it so authoritatively that you almost feel silly if you question it.
In computer science, no one seems to say "This is a fact" unless they know (or can prove) it is. Doesn't seem to hold true for climate change, which is what frustrates me.

FUD. That's the point of the decades long propaganda campaign by the energy companies. If they can't convince you outright they at least want to create the confusion and doubt.

Guessing? How so, by whom, and about what?
The scientific consensus is that humans have had a significant, adverse impact on the global climate -- this conclusion is presented with scientific certainty.
There is a complete lack of significant dissent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_c...

Well, other people think it's bullshit here so far without any sources. Here's some scientific stuff: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Scientific_op...
It's unlikely you can understand all the factors of climate change since there's far more variables of Earth than most scientists can comprehend so they could only study and make scientific theory based understandings. I think it's best to leave it to the academics.
