As does Al Gore. $

That's it!? This is what Beck is trying to equate to “don't listen to your parents” and indoctrination? Very very weak.

The reaction from the father is what you would expect from someone who's outdated ideas are being invalidated.

Again: climate change is not about belief as much as some people would try to make it. The evidence overwhelmingly indicates that there is human induced global warming. Anecdotal rebuttals on someone's blog count for nothing against scientific peer reviewed papers. The IPCC produces very conservative, carefully peer reviewed reports based on the best of evidence. Deniers have bluff and bluster. The IPCC will review and moderate the reports as new evidence comes to light. Deniers do not change their stance and continue to spout complete unscientific, unresearched, unvalidated, non peer reviewed factoids that push their side.

People who continue to hold beliefs in the face of the research are failing themselves and their fellows.

I wish there was a way to make this less harsh because (imho) the denier mentality becomes more solidified when faced with adversity. It is an inflexible way of thinking that needs more coaxing than argument.
