hope you all enjoyed your global warming today, incidentallyGo learn something about global warming before you make ignorant statements like this. It doesn't mean we'll never have cold days or blizzards, or that winter will go away. Seasons are related to the tilt of the earth's axis and relative proximity to the sun at certain times of the year. If you'd like to learn a little, go look up some articles about endangered plant and animal species in the arctic and people living in island populations being forced out of their homes because of rising sea levels. These sorts of occurrences fall within the predictions of the model, which is based on scientific observation and the best weather related data we have at this time

Science and faith have nothing to do with one another. I accept the validity of global warming as an environmental theory based on the collective scientific reasoning of people who study it for a living. I don't worship global warming or science in general as some sort of religion - I was merely attempting to provide a comparison that would be meaningful for you on a personal level. I have an entirely separate rant about how religion and science have nothing to say about each other and are best considered separately, but I don't really have time to post that here.
