In spite of the fact that Global Warming is supposed to be a scientific theory, most of its defenders say that you have to "believe" in it.
I'm sorry, but science is not something to be believed in. There is science and there is faith. both are fine by me, but you should not have to "believe" in a scientific theory.
By its very name, a scientific theory is something that needs to be evaluated from every angle, contested and tested yet again. That's the essence of science, and it is disheartening to see science being hijacked by people that want you to "believe".
I was hoping this film would help foster an intelligent discussion but all it has fostered is a wave of people saying that you have to "believe", and that is the worst thing that has happened to science in a long time.
