We may be headed for an ice apocalypse which could result in the flooding of coastal cities before the end of this century. Glaciers in Antarctica may break and release ice, exposing taller cliffs, resulting in faster melting.
[...] A wholesale collapse of Pine Island and Thwaites would set off a catastrophe. Giant icebergs would stream away from Antarctica like a parade of frozen soldiers. All over the world, high tides would creep higher, slowly burying every shoreline on the planet, flooding coastal cities and creating hundreds of millions of climate refugees.

That's about where I am on the subject at this point. The level of absolutist rhetoric and outright deception from both sides is fever pitch.
Question anything, say anything that doesn't match the party line, and you are instantly judged to be the enemy. Make any argument which is 'wrong' in the minds of the other person and people will associate you completely with the other side. No room is allowed for moderation.
I am tired of it.

So, errr, which side were you on again? ;-P
