Hmmm... there is no dispute that there is indeed global warming. The dispute
arises when the tin-foil hat crowd suggests that it is manmade. The
historical and
geological record bear this out.
Actually, Steve, if you had read the links I provided, you would have seen that
there is a rather significant consensus of both scientists and policy-makers
that man-made greenhouse gases are indeed one of the major contributors to
global warming. This link has been recognized by both Bush's EPA and Dept of
State. GW's objections to Kyoto were not based on indictments of any scientific
linkages, but on the notion that the restrictions on CO2 emissions weren't
applied equally to all nations.
Calling the vast majority of scientists part of "tin foil hat crowd" is a
technique that orininated with Rush Limbaugh. Do you also agree with him that
there are no significant risks we face with the quickly accelerating pace of
extinctions of animal species? If you do, that's your right, but ignoring the
vast consensus of scientists across the planet makes you look a bit tin-foilish
to me.
Can you offer any URLs to support your counter-claims? A comparison of source
qualifications would be VERY interesting.
Well you see, I don't waste my time chasing down links to try and dis-prove
something that is obviously false!
To do so, would be, well, foolish!
With all due respect,
