Global Warming deniers, what would it take to convince you warming is real and due to human activity?

The beaches of Fairhaven Massachusetts were littered today with thousands of dead fish that washed ashore. Unusually hot water caused the oxygen content to fall too low for the fish, according to state marine biologists.

A huge chunk of ice just broke off of Greenland. That ice-covered island is melting fast enough now that people there can see the changes taking place. The average temperature in Greenland and the Arctic has increased 3° C (5.4° F) since 1970. Temperature rise is rapidly increasing due to the dramatic melt off of Arctic sea ice in the past few years.

2010 is on track to be the warmest year since weather records were kept in the USA. Russia is in a state of emergency due to record heat, drought, and thousands of forest and peat bog fires. Moscow’s air is so full of smoke that the death rate from respiratory distress has doubled there.

What has to happen to convince you we should cut back on CO2 emissions? Or does evidence just not make any difference? Is all this just some masterful hoax orchestrated by Al Gore? If it is, how does he manage to do all these things?
