I would add that those who attempt to refute the general scientific consensus on the reality and severity of global climate change tend to argue of some sort of conspiracy of climate scientists trying to obtain addition funding to conduct addition research to support a flawed premise. In my view, this posture is ridiculous on its face, but the fact that eminent naturalists such as E.W. Wilson, James Lovelock, and others are ringing the alarm bells based on biological evidence is extremely significant. We are getting our cues from many scientific discliplines, and the reality is that what little science is used by climate change detractors seems often, if not usually funded by industry that is financially dependent on harming the environment. I don't believe there is any point in arguing the obvious at this stage. What is needed now is not debate, but action based on the obvious signs that are all around us...
