Two contrasting opinions. The shame is that one of them held power for

People tend to focus on the here and now. The problem is that, once
global warming is something that most people can feel in the course of
their daily lives, it will be too late to prevent much larger,
potentially catastrophic changes.

Some of the scientists, I believe, haven’t they been changing their
opinion a little bit on global warming? There’s a lot of differing
opinions and before we react I think it’s best to have the full
accounting, full understanding of what’s taking place.
