What is your scientific opinion about global warming, and its ramifications?

If you were to ask me, I'd offer the following simple equation:

Global Warming Science = Creation Science

Well from my perspective that is rather harsh. In fact, you may have succeeded in annoying folks in disparate camps that don't agree about much about anything at all. :) That is rather clever of you and I admire that.

Global Warming Science = Creation Science

No, a does not equal b.

Creation science is not science. It is based on religious faith in the Bible, and is not based on science. It uses science to try to prove the Bible, which is ridiculous, as the Bible is a statement of religion that is supposed to be taken on faith, a gift of the Holy Spirit.

Global Warming Science may be perverted by people trying to prove a religion of Gaia, a liberal religious orientation, but it is also a matter that genuine science may prove, disprove, or place in a larger and more enlightened framework.

Genuine science is a matter of facts that are amenable to testing and replication of results and that can be used to support or disprove an hypothesis that seeks to explain a greater framework of which these facts are a part.

The essense of real science is an open mind. And in that context, there are very few scientists on this thread.
