Is global warming the biggest threat to us or not. The debate seems to sway back and forth depending on who you happen to be listening to at the time. So, who should you believe? Read the following and decide for yourself.

Why try to change the future when the present is so bleak - Sam Bysh

There's a better scientific consensus on this than on any issue I know -- except maybe Newton's second law of dynamics, said D. James Baker, administrator of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Since global warming Eskimos now have twenty different words for water. - John O'Farrell

Today, we can see with our own eyes what global warming is doing. In that context it becomes truly irresponsible, if not immoral, for us not to do something. - Joe Lieberman

Shame on us if 100 or 200 years from now our grandchildren and great-grandchildren are living on a planet that has been irreparably damaged by global warming, and they ask, 'How could those who came before us, who saw this coming, have let this happen?' - Joe Lieberman

All this concern with the effects of global warming is another manifestation of being politically correct - Lord Young of Graffham

Global warmers predict that global warming is coming, and our emissions are to blame. They do that to keep us worried about our role in the whole thing. If we aren't worried and guilty, we might not pay their salaries. It's that simple. - Kary Mullis, Winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

Unless we stop dumping 70 million tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere every 24 hours, which we are doing right now the continued acceleration of this pollution would destroy the future of human civilization. - Al Gore

The Greenland ice sheet is likely to be eliminated [within 50 years] unless much more substantial reductions in emissions are made than those envisaged [and will] probably be irreversible, this side of a new ice age. - Jonathan Gregory, climatologist

The United States has a duty not to put obstacles in the way of the fight against global warming, but on the contrary to take the lead in this fight, because what is at stake is the fate of humanity as a whole. France will make this battle its primary battle - Nicolas Sarkozy

The European records, being so long, make a convincing case that we're already seeing changes ... This is not like 'Centuries from now the ice sheets will melt.' This is 'In a few decades it will be dramatically different.' To me, that's alarming. - Drew Shindell, NASA physicist

There is a significant minority of genuine experts in the field who believe that the Armageddon scenario is grossly oversold, especially by climatologists in pursuit of government funding and research grants. Such dissidents are treated as if they were heretics within an established religion. - Dominic Lawson
