re: reality
Arrell, I hate to point this out, but I probably know more about this issue than you do. I would bet that I have done more original research, more reading of actual source science papers, and had more direct contacts with scientists (they DO answer e-mails) than you.
Maybe you're the one letting someone else do your thinking for you.

Well, you're in clover now. No matter what happens in the environment, you can't be proven wrong.
For the record, "Realclimate.org" is also a blog.
