That our activities have a persistent and noticeable effect on our environment has been established as a fact, it is the specifics of what those effects may be on a global scale (and how to deal with them) that is the subject of contention. That's where I think we dropped the ball. There was an opportunity to sow discord and those with vested interests seized upon it. Personally, I blame sensationalism and tv ratings systems, which practically gauranteed that the initial round of warnings to be cautious of our environment were bound to be the absolute nuttiest of the bunch.
