Global Warming?

I am back up in Vancouver, BC in my freezing cold apt (think the heater is either broken or just taking a long time to kick back in gear, either way, my gleutes are frozen). I will be starting classes again tomorrow (I will probably post later with what I have on my platter). Before I get too deep into classes I wanted to bring up something that is very interesting to me: Global Warming. I am nearly done with Michael Crichton’s book State of Fear and have really enjoyed it so far. He brings up quite a few enviromental issues in that book that I plan to write something more in-depth on later. Before I do that, I want to know what readers of this blog, passers by, BE users, or whomever happens to find themselves here think. That means YOU!!

What is your take on Global Warming?

I would like it if you stay away from statements like “It is a well known fact that…” or “It is commonly believed…” I don’t just want to know what you feel about this subject, but WHY you feel that way about the subject. What sources inform your opinion? Have you had to reject any information? What do you see your bias to be? All those types of questions, and more, I would love for you to ponder. So please, ponder away!

I have written two other posts relating to Michael Crichton and two lectures he gave. If you would like to see them and / or comment (although please try and keep the discussions separate.) please see: Aliens Cause Global Warming and The Religion of Environmentalism.
