On both (political) sides of the debate - conservative climate skeptics and liberal environmentalists, statistics are taken out of context and irrelevant examples and ad hominem arguments are used to prove that their beliefs are correct.

Arctic Ice has increased by more than 30% since the "low" year of 2007! When do the Himalayan Glaciers really melt? Indian researchers say we'll have an ice age before they will melt. Even the Climate Bandits at CRU/East Anglia university who fiddled with their data and refused to share their "research", now admit there has been no global warming the last decade, and they also admit it was warmer during the Middle Ages.

It is about the politics, not the science. Climate change is a very complicated subject. Climate heating is certainly taking place, but no-one really knows whether it is natural, or man induced. No doubt a bit of both. But the climate change scientists have taken it very simplistically. However, big money is at issue. Climate change scientists have claimed certainty when there is none, and that's a problem. The only certainty is that human activity is fucking up the planet. What is not certain is the way that it is happening, and is climate heating part of it?
