I don't rely on any politician or any study funded by special interests, or the opinion of anyone with a bias such as Fox News or MSNBC etc. I have been to Glacier N.P. where the "glaciers" are clearly disappearing. I have been to Alaska where the ice is clearly receding and I have seen pictures of ice in the arctic which has diminished drastically. We can wait until Manhattan and Miami are under water, or we can begin taking common sense action before we saddle future generations with the consequences. Corporate Interests will always refute science when the fix costs them money. Our rivers throughout this country have been saved from pollution from companies and cities dumping raw and industrial waste in the watershed with regulations that they fought tooth and nail. The same sort of action will be required to reverse some of this problem, but they and their minions will fight it with every breath they take and every cent they can spare. This isn't a political issue, it is a scientific issue that politicians have been well paid to fight.
