We got mountains that don't have snow caps anymore. Permafrost that is no longer frosty, glaciers in massive retreat, sea levels rising, acidification of the ocean causing dead zones and you need more proof of global warming?

More like 1-2 degrees, not .2 degrees. Realize that most ecosystems are sensitive to global change of less than that. Take a trip to Alaska, where they're dealing with widespread loss of the permafrost, where roads built on the permafrost are falling apart, where villages built on it are sinking, where the wildlife ecosystem is changing rapidly. Take a trip to Antarctica, where massive portions of ice are breaking off and floating away to melt. Call all of this 'junk science' until the day you realize how wrong you've been - when the damage done is irreversible.
