The problem is, nobody debates with science anymore. I have seen it in responses to my articles in the past, and here, as well, people say "scientists say this," and give out no logical arguments or scientific facts. Most of these people, I'd say, are blindly accepting the theory, doing no research of their own, and therein lies the problem. Do you guys accept evolution because scientists say it, or because it makes sense? If you saw all the facts and they seem to say evolution was a load of crap, would you not question it? Of course, you should.
All the religious leaders in the world, believe in God. All the psychics believe in the supernatural. A lot of us, feel these things are completely wrong, for logical and scientific reasons, and you have to hold every theory to the same standard. How many of you have actually read up about both sides of the story, and formed an opinion based on facts. How foolish it is to base your entire stance on what you have been told the scientific community says.
I can guarantee there is a bigger dissent than you think, and ignoring them because they are not in the majority, is absurd. Please, I implore you to look up the facts, because the ones who do, often start to see the massive holes in the theory. Don't be reactionaries, because as I posted before, there can be consequences, terrible ones.
We have to ask questions. A) Is the globe warming at an unprecedented rate? B) Is it because of 100 years of industrialization? C) Is there really dire consequences to not acting? D) Is there a way we can stop this from happening?
If you can't answer Yes, to all these questions, with scientific reasoning, you shouldn't be pushing hard for regulations, and taxation, especially at a global level. You may not feel massive effects of banning oil consumption, but the developing countries will be destroyed, and people will starve.
The burden of proof is on you, claiming catastrophic, apocalyptic consequences.
