My opinion has changed from full-blown "believer" status to a more reasonable level of skepticism. The evidence I have seen during my Environmental Studies degree is convincing, but I have not been presented with a large body of evidence. Rather most articles I read ASSUME global warming and wonder its effects, rather than provide a reasonable example of evidence of anthropogenic global warming. I am convinced of global warming, and I hold that anthropogenic sources are part of a greater whole of causes. I am convinced reducing pollution is a good thing.
I am unconvinced that the government regulation is the best way to reduce pollution. All the bodies of evidence I have read in regards to policy effectiveness has pointed towards free market and quasi-market soloutions, rather than government regulation.
