As a Meteorologist, I am of the belief that the global warming is still a myth. I need concrete proof to believe something. Still, I believe that the millions of tons of pollution in the atmosphere has got to have an effect on our climate...somehow. How drastic it is or will be remains to be seen. By the time we figure it all out, will it be too little/too late? -ERIC
