my opinion

here's my opinion on the issue of global warming. I think that the entire weather system is extremely complicated-complicated enough so that in order to really determine whether or not global warming is really happening, and whether or not it's something to worry about, isn't something that I'm even going to try to argue about. All I can do is listen to what the scientists tell me, basically. However, how many of the scientists who oppose global warming are representing companies whose best interest is to convince people that global warming isn't an issue (oil companies, for example, or lumber companies). On the other hand, some people might say that it's in the best interest of other people with money to have [i]their[i] scientists go out and tell people that global warming IS a problem. So, here I am..I know very, very little about meteorology, climatology, etc...there is no way for me to really know for sure either way. But the one thing that I've learned is that if there is even a CHANCE of danger, then I have nothing to lose by heeding the warning....for this reason it seems to me that it doesn't seem very smart to do things like drive an SUV for the sake of personal image...
