Via CBS: "Next week, an international panel of top climate scientists, including Americans, will issue a long-awaited report on climate change.

The long-awaited report to be published next week puts hard scientific fact behind the cliché images of global warming. A final draft, obtained by CBS News, contains the strongest language yet on how fast the world is heating up and who to blame.

The answer? Us. "

You know, you say there are all of these holes, but what are they? You need to be specific, because there is usually a decent answer.

And reefbuddha, this is why discussion is so important. You can tell us all to simply listen to the scientists and trust the prevailing theory, but there are a lot people with honest questions. (this comment stems from a different post, so it might seem out of place)

Being polluted and contributing to greenhouse gasses are two different things. But I agree, general pollution is a major problem in many countries. Sort of makes you appreciate REGULATION, doesn't it?;)
