Religion is not explained by science.
What's odd is how scientific study and scientific method re: GW/GCC is demonized in this country by the political right. There s/b no differentiating correlation between science study and political affiliation.

Interesting post. While I agree that "perfect knowledge" shouldn't be needed to form an opinion, I think we are a long way from "usable knowledge" regarding weather patterns.
I laugh out loud when global warming conferences are cancelled due to cold.
You might be surprised to learn that I used to be pretty sure that global warming was not only happening but man-made. Then I read State of Fear by Michael Crichton.
That opened my eyes. Have you read it? I'd be interested in your thoughts.
