Global Warming

Well, the same argument could be made toward online sites as with the media. They can both be bogus.
But sources aside, the "theory" of global warming (btw, the word theory in a science context means right under fact. Some people say that gravity should still be called a thoery) is a sound theory. If CO2 is released into the atmosphere, the world's temps will get warmer. Denying that is the same as denying that species evolve (not evolution, just evolve). However, the debate is how much we have made a difference so far. I personally think people overreact and that it'll take some time before we realize any long term effects. The world works in eons, not thousands of years.
Summary: Attack the findings, not the theory.
