Hot Under the Collar Over Global Warming

Regarding the March 4 news story "Global Warming Skeptics Insist Humans Not at Fault":

The "skeptics" gathered at a conference in New York are anti-government libertarians who couldn't care less about climate change; they just don't want the government telling them what to do.

They attack other scientists for having uncertainty in data when, in truth, science is not about achieving certainty but about elucidating the next question. Certainty about climate change can be reached only after it has occurred.

If we continue to debate climate change instead of taking action, I will take no comfort in telling the skeptics "I was right" while standing on some tiny island created by the rising seas.
