Studies that are "peer reviewed" typically tend to reflect the collective view of all of the "peers", in this case who are all convinced global warmed is due to mankinds actions.

I don't know the answer but am not going to form my opinion based on a great movie or article.

I don't understand your argument. There are plenty of scientists studying global warming that agree that humans are the cause - those "peers" are convinced for a reason. This is what they do. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you meant, but are you saying that peer reviewed articles aren't a good source of information?

I'm not a scientist, so books, articles, and documentaries are the only way I'm going to learn about some of these things. I have to trust the experts, and those with credibility say that we are the cause. How else do you recommend one form an opinion on something like this?
