In a recent letter, the author wrote that Al Gore, who developed the theory of human-caused global climate change was not a scientist but a politician.
However, an extremely brief web search would show that Mr. Gore was not only a scientist but won a Nobel Prize for his theory.
The author can plainly do a web search as he next used a web reference to research began in 1957 in Russia.
By using carefully culled research you can 'prove' just about anything.
To really understand the global climate change issue, you need a consensus of all of the world's climate scientists.
Fortunately, we have just such a consensus.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a scientific intergovernmental body under the auspices of the United Nations.
They have presented five very conservative reports and several special focus reports.
There are no cherry-picked 'facts' here.
Instead, everything in the reports is carefully documented and double checked. I highly recommend everyone check out the latest report for themselves at bit.ly/1O4798K.
Even skimming it by reading the highlights will give folks a good basic grasp of the issues.
We are faced with enormous global scale challenges.
It's up to us to turn the challenges into opportunities. We can't face them while we are still in denial.
It's time to face this challenge united and to get busy.
