Just what is it that has been presented that would convince anybody that those who believe....who have been residents of the planet for how long....for the sake of argument let's just say 75 years. 75 years out of how many thousands of years has the earth been here? And we are to believe they are so scientifically accurate to be able to predict how many tenths of an inch or degree something is going to change 100 to 300 years out in time! And then go so far as to predict how all the other elements of the earth will react year by year!

I put this subject in the same category as the list of "forecasters who have predicted the end of the world for what ever reason over the same 75 years some have been on the planet. Thousands of forecasts.

Hence not worth spending any time on it. And the real kiss of death on this subject? It is just another political contrivance.
I don't think anybody on either side has any irrefutable proof, despite the fact that there are much more advanced scientific measuring sticks around today than there were 60 years ago when those 75-year-olds were teenagers, and despite the fact that some people are making $ off the theory.

So this is nothing more than a debate, which is a perfectly legitimate exercise, in my opinion. I stick with my original statement that nobody is going to convince anybody the change his/her mind on the subject.
