[..] today only 11% of the population believes humans play a role. Is this a bad joke?! Believe?! What has believe to do with this? Please if you don't know - watch this talk from Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf ( http://www.pik-potsdam.de/~stefan/ http://www.pik-potsdam.de/~stefan/ ) Video H264 720x576 Encoded http://dewy.fem.tu-ilmenau.de/CCC/25C3/video_h264_720x576/25c3-2863-en-climate_change_-_state_of_the_science.mp4 http://dewy.fem.tu-ilmenau.de/CCC/25C3/video_h264_720x576/25... (From 12/2008, CCC Congress 25C3) Information and further links about this talk: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2008/Fahrplan/events/2863.en.html http://events.ccc.de/congress/2008/Fahrplan/events/2863.en.h... His job is to give scientific advice to people who need to make decisions on these Global Warming topics. Global warming will destroy the sea, the animals, plants and finally us. Stop this whole argument of is this real or bullshit and read the research for yourself if you still doubt it. Who needs money when we all can't go outside anymore because its 50 degrees Celsius outside?

If you say something and claim it to be factual it's still up to me to believe you or not. I think belief has a lot to do with it.

  Thats the beauty of the argument. Science gives us a tool to eliminate believe from the equation. Believe is something which has no place there. With Science we make assumptions and lay them out for everybody to see or counter argument. After enough iterations of opinions and results we end up with something that gives us at least a high probability of being right. Claim has to be followed by proof. Proof does not need believe as it stands by itself. If you believe it or not.

> Global warming will destroy the sea, the animals, plants and finally us. Not only that, but I heard that if not stopped, Global warming would make cats chase dogs, Jerry Springer would retire, and leprechauns would roam in large bands across the earth, spreading death, destruction, and lucky charms.
