I tried to have a debate with a woman who has a university degree, says she knows about aquatic systems... And although she wanted to convince me that CO2 is driving the weather, she hadn't seen An Inconvenient Truth, or The Great Global Swindle. She also doesn't know David Suzuki or his nemesis: Timothy Ball. So when she realised that I was bringing up too many issues about global warming and that she knew nothing about it, she told me that SHE HAD A UNIVERSITY DEGREE, that she was right. So I went home, wrote a long and chaotic rant on my blog then drank beer until I went to sleep. I'm feeling much better now. You can't debate with dogma. Al Gore is a god, apparently. Global Warming has become religion. And like you said: Offering solutions means forming an opinion. That doesn't go well with religion. It’s funny, I was thinking the same thing yesterday.
