Sure. I encourage more climatalogical study, but my point is taht we don't even know how it works yet, so it's impossible to claim it's broken.

The ninnies among the great unwashed don't have a clue what's going on, but they do "know" one thing and it's downright scary. When you ask them about man-made global warming, they'll say something like, "don't know much about, but we got to do something before it F's up the world." Gore and the media have effectively planted that one simple idea. What's the simple counterpoint?
I tend to get neck-snaps in my direction and knowing smiles of superiority when someone asks my opinion. Then I simply ask them to prove what they believe. And they can't.

I think that helps a little, with the casual followers. maybe I've even changed a few minds here and there.
