Examiner.com's exclusive global warming debates

"It's time to talk about my views on global warming--again. As a commentator for Examiner.com, I try and be objective when interviewing people like Roger Pielke Sr., Stephen Schneider and Bjorn Lomborg. But I am getting paid for expressing my opinion, and I have to periodically remind readers of what I think science shows.
...
For now, I'm sticking with Arrhenius. 1.6-2.1 degrees of warming (Celsius!) as CO2 doubles. That's livable. The problem is that it's not like a race where we reach that doubling goal and then just stop belching out CO2. What happens if we double it again? That's why I'm in favor of purchasing insurance, in the form of Obama's energy plan. Because the last complication to all of this is that our CO2 emissions are not the only thing we're doing to push climate up. Deforestation, land-use policy, depletion of the water tables, all of these also have an effect on climate. Examining one factor alone is just foolish. If the 2 degrees from CO2 is just the beginning, we have to take this seriously.

If the facts change, my opinion will too. But for now, that's my story and I'm sticking to it."
Thomas Fuller

So this guy is interviewing Dr. Roger Pielke, Sr:

I think Thomas Fuller opinion is somewhat reasonable, I disagree, but I will to that below.
