I'm not going to try to out-quote everyone here. It is useless to try to get people to shift their position based on research or political arguments. What we need is clear anecdotal evidence.

Remember the iceman? Hikers in the alps found him and reported the body as being a modern hiker. But when the authorities got there they found that he had actually be frozen there for 5,300 years. So let's work this out. Over 5,000 years ago, before the great pyramids were built this man was trying to cross the mountains and he was lost. For 5,000 years he has been covered in ice. NOW the ice is melting.

Why? Does it matter? The FACTS are correct. The ice is melting. It MIGHT be us. It might not. Once again, if we do nothing and it is caused by us then the results will be catastrophic. If we do something and it was not our fault then we prepare for and escape catastrophe and we clean up the environment.

So, why are we arguing? Why can't the human race look beyond the next few years and look at the big picture?
