I agree the science is still not determined - and may never be. But
those that claim the debate is over and their side is right are not
willing to look at all the opposing views.

John Lockwood, whose recent research at the Library of Congress made
headlines after he uncovered a 1922 Washington Post article "Arctic
Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt," doesn't normally
buy children's books.
But bookstore browsing over the weekend "I came across a new edition
of Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth' re-written for children - or as
the cover phrased it, 'Adapted for a New Generation.' I bought a copy;
I couldn't help myself," he insists.
Chapter 14 was his favorite - "Scientists are in almost complete
agreement about the causes of global warming" - but "let's not forget
page 10, where Mr. Gore gives a brief bio: When his father the senator
was in town, young Al had to live 'in a small eighth-floor apartment
whose windows looked out on concrete parking lots and buildings.'
"I have passed by this place hundreds of times at least," Mr. Lockwood
notes. "The building is a block or two west of Dupont Circle, and sits
on Massachusetts Avenue, or Embassy Row. A hardscrabble childhood,
Al."
of course Gore has admitted he exaggerated his claims in his movie
because, as Gore stated "I believe it is appropriate to have an over-
representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a
predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions
are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis." -
seems he has a real trouble with facts.
BTW - where are the bigger more stronger global warming hurricanes the
past two years?
