When scientists start thinking...

Melting polar caps: Man is convictable

A study provides new evidence that only man can be responsible for the rising temperature.

Hey, that sounds good. So finally scientists can PROVE that it is caused by humans, and not only claim it as before?

"The rise of temperature in the arctic and antarctic in the last few decades COULD directly be linked with human activities..."

Oh, guess not. Just the 10000000000000000000000th attempt to draw our attention to the subject of climatic change, and the 10000000000000000000000000000000000000th scientist who claims to PROVE that it's true. There is one thing I don't get: Scientists always insist that something is not true until you can prove it. That's why many of them laugh at religion. But why is it that there is so much about "facts" and "proof" when it comes to global warming if there is yet no actual evidence that the USA would acknowledge?

I once learned at school that 25% of the world's energy is consumed by the USA, while they only have a very small percentage of the world's population. So I guess it would help a lot if they changed something. But to my astonishment, they are the ones who ignore it the most. And that not only goes for their presidents, it also goes for the public. While it is commonly accepted here that global warming is man-made, the American media still argue about this a lot and even do satire shows about paranoid scientists who think they know what global warming comes from. Then they use arguments like "in [place in America] it's the coldest winter since 1855, so you're telling me we have global warming?". So yeah, you can tell nobody there is impressed.

If only this whole "proof" thing would stop. You know, I never hear anything new. It never progresses. Everytime there is something about global warming, it's this "now we have proof" thing. It always deals with KNOWING that it's caused by man. But while we can accept that it probably IS caused by us, we are still waiting for people to deliver rock-solid proof. Proof. Not assumptions. Because we need this before it's too late. And even then these guys will doubt it over there.

The media are going to keep milking this cow until nobody cares. And eventually, when one scientist is able to prove that global warming is caused by humans, it's either so damn obvious that it doesn't matter any more, or nobody will care because until then there will be more dramatic news about "hey, we got proof. You know, it COULD be caused by humans, we have just concluded that in our endless wisdom".
