The
"10-things-you-can-do-to-fight-global-warming" list are everywhere. People write their little articles on doing your part to save energy, stop polluting and help the environment, in hopes of spreading their brand of religion.
This article in The San Diego Union Tribune gives us all the same things except for number ten:
10) Don't listen to the naysayers who say global warming is unproven. It's just not so. There has been a lot of misinformation spread by a tiny handful of people who love the limelight they get for being contrary. (Some of them love the money they've gotten from the fossil fuel industry, too.) But the vast majority of climate scientists have been in agreement for a decade or more about the reality of global warming and its human causes. Scientists have done their part; now it's time for us to do something before things get worse. She is actually suggesting you don't listen to the other large group of scientists who suggest that maybe it's not completely understood what is happening. Most of who she calls "deniers" are not denying global warming, they are questioning the science and the motives behind it all. And as far as money goes, well, there is plenty on that side as well, I would guess 5 times more.
