Perhaps what I should have said is not that discussion of the topic is fruitless, but that the approach has been. It seems way more focused on proving the other side "wrong" , pulling out lists of experts and then denigrating the "experts" on the other side, or posting articles that present the view of one of the zillion of highly qualified scientists, when an opposing view is right around the next link.

Educating oneself is always important. But repeating arguments when there is no absolute truth out there yet to offer- that we can actually prove or agree on- for me- gets tedious.

What I will look for in my candidate is a reasoned, rational approach to a slowly changing climate, not an allegiance to an ideological belief that brooks no argument from others. As you say, it is happening. But the cause and the extent are still in great debate.
