...and other chestnuts circulating on teh interweb.

How to Talk to a Climate Skeptic

Check out the link, they are all there. My favourite is the "It's cold today in Wagga Wagga" argument, mainly because the place is called 'Wagga wagga', which is a completely awesome name.

Feel free to bookmark, and while you're at it why not bookmark RealClimate, applauded by the scientific peer reviewed journals for their objectivity (it's written by real climatologists and everything. Imagine that!).

Excelsior!

Anyone who thinks global warming is a myth is an idiot. Period.

That really depends on how you define global warming. If you mean simply 'the phenomenon of global average temperature rising', then yes. If you mean, however, 'the phenomenon of global average temperature rising due primarily to excess atmospheric carbon dioxide resulting from human activity', then there's definitely some room for debate.

Absolutely. The "debate" just seems to revolve around a complete lack of evidence to the contrary... then a lot of heads in the sand.

Let me guess, your buddy is named George Deutsch? Or some other college dropout Bush supporter whose job is to censor the real science? LOL

Where's Buckaroo? I would have expected one of his, "Gore wants to kill off all humanity by reducing greenhouse gases" diatribes by now.
