Global Warming

State of Fear has been a really good book to read, but it's driving me crazy. Are any of the things we've heard about global warming true? It seems like all of the information that we hear today about global warming is either a lie or grossly exaggerated. I just don't know what to believe anymore. It would be interesting to hear someone on the side of pro-global warming look at all of these statistics and evidence and see how they would interpret it. The book really makes you question the validity of information from the media and those sources. I just wish the truth would come out. Is there really a whole conspiracy going on that involves environmental groups or various big industries? Maybe not necessarily but at the same time the story being presented by the media isn't completely true. So where are they getting their information from and why isn't it the truth? My views on global warming are definitely starting to change, and I would say I'm more in the middle now than on one side or the other. It's hard to just let all of my previous beliefs go, but Crichton cites his evidence and his book really can't just be ignored either. I think our debate will be interesting because it will make examine at least one of the sides deeply and maybe it will help flesh out my views on the subject. The whole truth probably isn't out there either way, but it really has been kind of a shock to learn that something you thought was true pretty much without a doubt may actually not be an issue at all!
