@ licker - Clearly wrong about temperatures falling. Second link provided expecially => air temperatures

PS @ chris: could you please provide some link to the "more than 11,000" academic scientists which are skeptics about GW. Possibly something which shows their peer-rewied works on the matter. (Even better, if not payed for this by the Bush administration lol )

I cannot provide a link. However, a place to start would be Gore's movie. Many of the scientist quoted as supporting the theory of global warming have recanted.

The pedigree's of the people opposing global warming is significant. The director of NOAA atmospherics studies, Dr Gray of Colorado State, if I recall.

There have been several documentaries on both sides of the issue. One of these documentaries amassed a contrarian point of view to show that scientific opinion was hardly monolithic.

To say that it is categorical fact that CO2 emissions cause global warming, is frankly, ridiculous. To my knowledge, the theory hasn't even been tested; nor is it readily apparent how to test it.

But it doesn't matter, at least to me. Gravity is a theory. It fights the observable facts better than any other theory.

The theory of global warming gives suggests avenues to attack. Should these avenues not work, then the theory of warming caused by man made actions (notably co2 emissions) will be revisited. Or, if global temperatures start to fall.

However, people that propose CO2 warming like a religion scare me. We have thousands of years of history. I would bet that our present climate is WELL within statistical variance.

Hell, our planet has both been a hell hole - and ice covered - several times, in the not too distant (geologically speaking past).

But wouldn't be willing to take no action against global warming either.
