The IPCC data is public and I see no faults with it whatsoever. The only people I really see arguing against it have little to no data, and they're usually making fallacious appeals to emotion. I mean who the fuck cares what Michael Crichton has to say about global climate change?

Will the fact you mention Michael Crichton, (who much like myself understands whats going on in 'science' right now) as somehow what those of us who think the global warming trend is at best overblown and at worst a deliberate propaganda tool shows just how little you understand in the debate.
People like myself or Crichton don't pull this out of their ass for no reason on little data. I'm going to guess I'm far more qualified and educated in understanding this sort of data then just about anyone on tfp, and BECAUSE of that data people like Crichton and myself have formed our opinion on human caused global warming.
And since you started this Will, you don't even think an aircraft hit the pentagon, how can I take your interpretation of any 'data' seriously when it comes to something political? It always pisses you off when I bring this up, but you have a 20 page thread in paranoia as public record. You have described yourself as far left now, and my belief, and others, including the founder of Greenpeace think people like you are using the environment as a scare tactic to attempt to sway the general public into adopting far left political ideas.
Quite frankly Will, you can't be trusted to be scientific in such debates. I don't have an axe to grind with society, I have a long term stake in the 'future' of the planet now that I have children, I am in fact impartial on the whole debate. If I thought my children would be living in some post global warming apocalyptic world that could be avoided I'd be the first fighting to change policy.
You on the other hand live in a world of massive conspiracies and global injustice. You have the axe to grind, you want to see society change, and this is your tool.
