I've always trusted the Pirate Parties as ones who rely on and promote
science in politics. The science is currently as clear on global
warming as it is on evolution or relativity. Sure, one scientist can
easily overturn all established existing science if he has the research
to back it up, but until that happens, global warming is a fact. The
real questions are what to do about it, to what degree, and whether or
not the Pirate Parties should do it.
