Arguments by Carter	vs	What the Science Says
"Al Gore got it wrong"		Al Gore's book is quite accurate, and far more accurate than contrarian books.
"Climategate CRU emails suggest conspiracy"		A number of investigations have cleared scientists of any wrongdoing in the media-hyped email incident.
"CO2 is not a pollutant"		Through its impacts on the climate, CO2 presents a danger to public health and welfare, and thus qualifies as an air pollutant
"It's a natural cycle"		No known natural forcing fits the fingerprints of observed warming except anthropogenic greenhouse gases.
"There is no consensus"		97% of climate experts agree humans are causing global warming.
"There's no empirical evidence"		There are multiple lines of direct observations that humans are causing global warming.
