Where do you fall on Global Warming?

[CDarwin]

I've been reading some of the global warming discussion on here and the amount of skepticism struck me as interesting. I would therefore like to try and quantify people's feelings on the subject. Bascule's poll (though not itself uninteresting) is a bit inadequate to that task, as it's mainly concerned with making a point. I've tried to be as inclusive as possible as to the range of opinions, based largely on some of the options floated in Bascule's poll thread.

 

I think having a nice picture of everyone's opinions might further discussion in this forum on what is obviously its dominant issue.

 

EDIT: When I look at the poll now, I see I excluded two categories: "The earth is warming and human activity is the only cause" and "Other: Please specify." If you wish to avail yourself of either of those, just post.

do you want them added to the poll options?

[CDarwin]

That would be nice... I'm not totally sure how to do it.

 

When I think of it, I suppose I should add "The earth is warming but the impact of human activity is unknown" as well.

I'm not sure you can edit your polls (if you can, there'll be an 'Edit poll' option to the top-right of the poll).

 

I chose option one, but with one cadevat: option one is almost certainly the case, not definately the case.

It was fixed somehow. Thanks to some moderator?

That's reasonable of course. I'm just asking which position you would defend if caught in a debate.
