In the media, it usually goes like this:
"More hurricanes? Must be global warming!"
"Fewer hurricanes? Must be all that unpredictability caused by global warming!"
"Dry winter? Global warming is keeping all the moisture up in the air!"
"Snowy winter? Warmer sea temperatures are contributing to more moisture in the air!"
"Warm summer? Global warming!"
"Cool summer? Glob...er...climate change!"

It has become a cult, not science. The infamous "hockey stick" graph has been repeatedly disproved as nothing more than methodical error, yet the UN intergovernmental panel on climate change still presents that graphic on its website: http://www.ipcc.ch/present/graphics/...mall/05.16.jpg. If the pro-Kyoto establishment so recklessly accepts bad science that favours their position, why would anyone in their right minds think that the resultant international treaty is based on anything more than dogma?

There is lots of misinformation on both sides out there. Which isn't helping anyone. On one side you have moron alarmists like Green peace that are misinformed and seem to lack a logical direction, saying the world will lose 3/4 of it's animals in the next 50 years. And you have right wing politictians/media that refuse to listen scienctists and instead draw their own conculsions and inform the public thusly. So it is hard to people (inculding myself) to come up with a real solution or conculsion instead of blindly throwing money at the problem.
