The weather where I live has been unpredictable - and unexpectedly dynamic - at times... Very hot winter nights and hailing summer days. Is it global warming? I'd be lying if I said I knew. I do live in California, after all; the weather has always been a bit crazy. And, as GoNative said, some of us can be extremely scientifically illiterate. I blame my school system and President Bush for that one. From what I've seen, there are those who are quick to dismiss scientific data, then there are also those who ignore logical reasoning unless there are statistics to prove it -- which is somewhat irrational, in my opinion, considering that statistics may not necessarily exist for every argument -- and then there is the issue of accuracy and, possibly, deception. Whatever the case, I'm certain, if there is any problem, it would have to exist in people's interpretation of valid data and events, not the data and events themselves.

Although, I've become wary of the politics and dogmatic bickering revolving around this subject, I would still be inclined to support the virtue of practicing responsibility and wisdom when it came to our role in the world. I don't follow the idea of Global Warming to the extent that I'm cursing people for driving big trucks... but I do make an effort to recycle and save energy, when I can. Just in case.
