What I'm saying is that there is sufficient evidence to show both sides of global warming that both sides should be presented not just one.

Sorry bub, that's not my logic, that is yours. I have not said that you do not have the right to question anything, or whine about the fact that you would like to see equal time given to a dissenting position of what is considered by the majority of the scientific community to be fact. There is much more evidence on the side of the ledger that says that man-made C02 emmissions are a contributor to global warming than the contrary. What is interesting is that those who hold a contrary opinion are incapable of bringing their thinking together and defining a concise argument as to what is causing environmental change. Each of these scientists have a different theory that conflicts with the next one. There is no continuity to their story except the fact that they disagree with the evidence that man made C02 is the greatest contributing factor to this change. Just because they are a dissenting voice does not mean their voice holds the same weight as the concensus reached by a couple thosand of the best and brightest researchers that science has to offer. Unless these folks can present a united theory that can counter this concensus, I see no reason why their theory should get the same air time. If you still believe that these scientists on the fringe, with their counter ideals and evidence, deserve the same time then you must also allow the holocaust deniers their place at the podium as well. Holocaust deniers have what THEY consider substantial evidence that the events did NOT take place. So we MUST provide them equal time to air their side of the story as well. YOU said so.
