I believe that science has yet to prove anything. Supporters and detractors all say what they want you to hear.
The global warming side really needs to pick a game plan and stick to it or they will never gain any credibility with those that straddle the fence. When this issue first arose (and it was called warming) the science put out by "independant" institutions just did not support the claims of warming. Then you have a couple of seasons of particularly cold winters and all of a sudden they say they are not worried about "global warming", instead now calling it "global climate change" and blaming anything from blizzards to hurricanes to tornados to excess snakes! (see USAToday today).
If I don't agree with someone on an issue but they are passionate about it I cannot fault that person. But what the media does with this issue is nothing less than fear mongering in my opinion.
