This is ground that has been gone over a number of times with very few discoveries and very much name calling.

A short sampling of the cole's notes version:

Dr. Suzuki is a hypocritical nutjob who pushes the idea cutting down on green house gasses yet burns jet fuel getting arouns, diesel fuel on his travelling side show, and owns a big expensive house in BC.

Ditto for Al Gore.

Besides there are plenty of scientists who question if Global warning is real, and even if it is real, there is no way humans are to blame. It could be sunspots. Weren't these same climatologists saying we were entering an ice age 30 years ago? Quacks!

And why do anything when places like China are just going to continue their polluting ways. Our pollution is a drop in the bucket compared to theirs, so why ruin our economy for nothing?

On top of that, look how cold out winter has been!

On the other side, you can mention the huge majority of climatologists if you want; point out that the most vocal opponents of climate change have been discredited or are funded by entities with much to lose if it was true; that climate change <> day by day weather; and so on.

The earth may already screwed, and by the time for you to get definitive proof one way or the other (which is hard, and why the biggest supercomputers in the world are being created in an attempt to model these situations) it will probably be too late to do anything regardless of the result.
