> How would you suggest most people actually consider "both sides"? I'd suggest that they have a look at local weather data going back a couple of decades, compare it to global data, check out the methodologies used to calculate that data, read a few of the best resources they can find from each side, and try to work out what the debate is about. I don't think many people will change their minds, but I hope that they'll learn what both sides actually are and come to have more respect for the other side. > And..are there actually only two "sides"? I think there are two sides to the question "how much effort should we spend preventing climate change?", and those sides are "no effort" and "all available effort", with plenty of middle ground. I think serious debate around climate change is about where we are on that continuum, rather than whether man-made climate change is actually happening.
