For the moment, let’s assume that global climate change is real. I know, a lot of you have sent me E-mails and links to the contrary. And yes, I’m well aware of Climategate and the E-mails from the scientists that popped up on the Internet and every other news site.

But humor me, play along and pretend for a moment that climate change is a truth (for those who believe that climate change is real, I ask no change your mindset). Now that it’s real (remember, anti-climate change folks, we’re pretending) what does climate change really mean to us? How does it make us feel What does it make us do?

First, how does the idea of global warming — the idea that the globe is getting hotter and that catastrophic effects will occur — make us feel? Primarily, it scares us. No one wants the globe to heat, especially if it means that terrible things would happen — ice caps melting, Pacific islands disappearing, etc.. So where does that lead us?...

If you read the whole thing, any reader - whether they're a denier or not - should reach the same conclusion. It really is a brilliant way to debate climate change with the uninformed, IMO.
