Every national science acadamy agrees that global warming is real and that mankind is the cause. If I have to choose between the scientists and the groups that think they are wrong, I’m going with the smart people. If they are wrong, we are out a ton of money. It the others are wrong, we are out a habitable planet.

I’ve read the IPCC reports and a lot of the counter claims. The IPCC reports are credible; much of the counter stuff is ideological nonsence. Much like Idiotic Design, it lacks any intellegence and scientific credibiilty whatsoever.

Could global warming not be true? Sure – scientifically, there is about a 4% chance that it is wrong. Why play those odds?

And if we develop sustainable energy technologies, what is the downside? Sure, its a painful transition, but we will have to make it at some point, unless the species dies out.

Try going to MIT’s site and watching soem of the videos that they have posted on the subject. Pretty smart stuff.

I also see similarities in Republican anger on the issue and on other issues dealing with health, safety, and science. It appears to me that many Republicans aren’t searching for truth but trying to discredit liberals…”because”.

Wow, vic. You’re pretty resolute. But, I have yet to read anything from the pro-pollution lobby that I find persuasive. Often, I try to decide “who to believe” not on the data and models themselves — which I can’t interpret, because I’m no expert — but on the way the two sides debate the issue.

What I see from the pro-polluter side is a “throw up anything on the wall and see what sticks”.

Someone should put that guy away. I’m very tired of BS from both the left and the right.

All I want is some truth.

How bout this for an idea: recognizing that climate change is a bullshit pseudo scientific religion that gets liberal panties in as much of a not when you point out its flaws, as christian panties when you point out their God is no more rational than the Spaghetti Monster.

There are few people more religious than liberal environmentalists.

I’m sure this idea will help usher in the coming ice age sooner.

Great job, eco religious fanatics. Do you change your opinions when the facts change?

I thought not.

What if we injected a huge cloud of money into the economy to save us from ourselves? Economic climate change is now undergoing the type of radical treatment he suggests for the atmospheric climate..
