The paper you submit is not always what people get to see, its called creative editing. Oh i like that bit, but this bit can be blended out as it might confuse people, then if we move this over to here, it looks like this rather then that ect.
An example, the guys and girls who are actually out there extracing the ice cores know that increased CO2 in the atmosphere comes after a rise in global temperate, therefore it cant be a cause according to their data, and yet there are people 1000's of miles away sitting in cosy labs and offices who take the data the ice workers have struggled to get and manipulate it to suggest that CO2 throughout history has been the cause of global warming. Thus enabling them to give the public the answers and reassurance they are so desperate for.
The public is then presented with said information from a person all smartly dressed who seems very well informed and they take it as gospel, meanwhile there is a project leader spitting feathers on the ice somewhere with his hands tied because if he speaks out he will loose funding.
I am not in either camp really, we might be causing it, we might not, but i am not going to jump on the wagon just because I'm told to and its the cool thing. Yes we should try and protect what we have and recycle as long as it is economical and viable to do so, but we should accept that without definitive answers and black and white facts we are living in hope and walking blind.
