Of course there are tons of biased sites out there -- this IS the internet after all :-) -- but there are unbiased sources too. You just have to look for them. You do have to be smart about your search terms. Searching for "global warming" is like searching for "abortion" -- you'll get more flamefests than information. Search for things like "co2 levels" or "ocean levels" or "volcano co2" and you'll get much a much better signal-to-noise ratio. > It's funny - you have confirmed, if nothing else, that the mere act > of asking for unbiased information on the topic, pisses off people > like you. I wonder why that is. It is not the mere act of acting. It is the attitude with which you ask. If you always/often get this reaction when you ask for information, perhaps you should consider the common element in all those situations: the person doing the asking. Maybe "people like me" get annoyed with the "I refuse to believe this, and I refuse to do my own research, so you do it for me, and if you don't do it for me then it's all rehashed 'ice age' hype" routine. And maybe "people like me" get a bit nettled when you keep calling us "people like you." As if you've got some tidy little category of raving global-warming fanatics who always act a certain way, and of *course* I'm one of them. (I'm really tempted to ask "Why do 'people like you' do that, anyway?" but that would be just as bad as what you're doing.) I've provided unbiased information about this and many other topics on many forums for many years. When someone is genuinely unaware of how to start, or genuinely unaware of sources to look for, I'm glad to help. When someone says "I'm too lazy to look, and I insist you look for me," I'm a little less inclined to be helpful.
