Why does AGW currently have so many of the characteristics of a religious dogma, including the methods of debate?
A scientific approach incorporates all available information on the phenomena and weights it in order of relevance. A religious one is sure of the outcome and seeks (nay extols the virtues!) of anything that shows the truth of their faith.
Any serious observer who has considered ALL the available information and trends can come to no other conclusion. AGW, although a large and complex issue, is occuring.
If all you do is immerse yourself in the miniscule fraction of data that appears to indicate that it's not occuring, then I could see how you're so confused. You cant see the pine forest for the aspen tree.
