scientific method. If we wait for evidence(the anti-global warming crowd never tells us what that evidence would be )then we may wind up as plant food(assuming the plants survive the increases in temperature). We should assume that global warming is occuring. It is better to be safe than sorry. **********

You mean infer it is occurring based on the best evidence we have so far, heh? The opponents of the hypotheses are merely showing the ugliest side "raise the evidence bar so high they'll never get over it". It's an ancient game. Too bad transboundary pollution isn't considered a non-tariff trade barrier or a form of eco-dumping.
