Let me preface by saying that I am not a scientist. But I am a politician and the recent declaration that the debate over global warming is officially over, thanks to the United Nation's report, is not a scientific statement but rather a political one.
The pro global warming crowd's argument is circular nonsense. It goes something like this: There is consensus that global warming is caused by humans so it must be true. Therefore no one can express another opinion because it goes against the consensus. And of course if nobody is allowed to express a different opinion it just builds the argument that there is consensus on the subject.
It is particularly scary to see how willing they are to intimidate and strong arm anyone who dares go against the so called "consensus". Heidi Cullen from the Weather Channel wants any meteorologist who disagrees with global warming to lose their credentials from the American Meteorological Society. In Oregon the Governor wants to strip the title of state climatologist from George Taylor because he believes global warming is occurring due to natural effects and not due to humans. In Delaware, the state climatologist is being vilified because he may have taken money from Exxon mobile and therefore he cannot be trusted on this issue.
I always thought liberals were supposed to be the tolerant wing of the political and social spectrum. But I guess that only applies if you agree with them. Otherwise watch out. And for all people who claim those that oppose global warming must be backed by the oil companies, how come they never doubt the claims of those scientists who get funding from the Sierra Club and other environmental groups. These groups have just as much an agenda as the oil companies to steer their studies in a particular direction.
One last thought; the very notion that the United Nations is the driving force behind this latest "consensus" should on its own be enough to raise doubt about that report. Somebody please tell me one time when the United Nations has been right. Not just on global warming but on any issue.

Jeff: Were you recently on the Michael Savage radio show? Either way I am interested in locating more facts regarding the minority opinion on global warming. Can you point me in the right direction? Please email me at steve55416 (at) yahoo (dot) com. Thanks.
So does that mean I shouldn't buy what Jim Dobson says about abortion? Since when does a person or theory get discredited because there is money involved?
Just pushing;-)
I am utterly convinced that glbal warming crap. There is so little real evidence that supports it. People have been keeping track of temps for only a couple of hundred years at he most, it is clearly not a large enough time frame from which to make such assumptions. How do we even know that the so called "optimal earth temperature" is NOT 3 degrees warmer than it is now. There is evidence is the fossil record that indicates that the earth was actually MUCH hotter than it is now during the age of dinosaurs. We know this by the fossils of plants from that time.
This is purely political and I believe the greatest fraud to be perpetrated on the world ever.
