But any time there is an argument there are two sides. One may be 
hopelessly naive/blind/misled whatever, but there are still two sides, 
and with AGW, BOTH  sides are cherry picking data.
It doesn't matter what's true - if the main advisers to our PM are 
telling us that sea levels will rise by 100m this century - that's a 
metre per year!, and a report is released today that says it's basically 
too late for Australia, then they are being just as stupid as the ones 
who think we can go on pumping noxious gases into our atmosphere (and 
burning fossil fuels) at the rate we are without destroying the Earth as 
we know it.

I still maintain that there are two "camps" for want of a better word, 
who are ignoring actual data, and spouting specific examples, in order 
to advance their own agenda. There are two sides in this argument, and 
neither of them are using "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but 
the truth".
