Until the evidence [for human induced global warming] is so overwhelming that there is no way the public can deny it--notice the difference in the burden of proof between this and where we currently stand: human induced global warming is plausible--I'm afraid little will be done.
Well, maybe computers can help us sort Global Warming fact from opinion. From UPI:
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is funding a research project designed to teach computers to scan text and then sort opinion from fact.

The scientists will use machine-learning algorithms to give computers examples of text expressing both fact and opinion and then teach them to tell the difference.
