Notice how the global warming deniers have a far harder time rejecting the hard facts & data than to issue rebuttals to doom-and-gloom scenarios.

Pointing out that humanity could be in serious trouble in spots and that the planet might take some decades to recover if we don't act soon, isn't what I meant by 'doom and gloom'. It's a commonly accepted plausible outcome.

What I was talking about,was stuff like Earth turning into Venus, or extreme cascading/feedback scenarios that couldn't possibly apply in reality even in the absolute worst case scenarios. That is the stuff that the dishonest "Climate Change is a Hoax" clique likes to pounce on, and we can't make anymore mistakes like that. We can't afford to end up inadvertently dropping more ammo in their lap. So many people have already been scared off(or become completely hopeless, thanks to) by the 'doom-and-gloom' scenarios and I was one of those lucky few who managed to see thru that.

Only the continuation of the usage cold hard facts, backed up with logical scenarios can save us(and lessening the influence of oil money would help greatly as well!)
