Letter: Just a whole lot of guesswork going on

Imagine the following scenario: There are millions of people who are betting on the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts in the upcoming Super Bowl.

The Bears fans can quote statistics, explain trends, and, based on past events, can give you numerous reasons why the Bears will win. The Colts fans can quote statistics, explain trends, and, based on past events, can give you numerous reasons why the Colts will win.

But, as anyone with a clue knows, one side will be right and one side will be wrong. But no one will know until after the game is over. Until then they are doing nothing but guessing.

That is exactly the case with the global warming debate. Nothing but guesses.
