its Dr. Roy Spencers testimony to congress in August. CO2 DOES lag temperature and Dr. Spencer says the climate models the IPCC used were flawed. read the highlights of his testimony.

I am a digger, although not a part of this comment thread you speak of. Diggers are generally a population ahead of the curve and probably feel this way because they are not easily fool and influenced by agenda’s. I just did a presentation on the global warming hoax and thers lots of points to go off. do some research

I fall into this category, and I have learned to keep my mouth shut when it comes to global warming, because as soon as I suggest that the global warming isn’t as big a deal as it’s made out to be, I become a pariah… My opinions instantly don’t matter because I didn’t drink Al Gore’s Kool-Aid.

I do believe that we need to clean up and change our ways, but I don’t think we need something like the global warming scare to do it. I mean, the evidence is right there in the yellow-smog bowl encapsulated cities and the record numbers of breathing disorders.

The worst thing about the whole debate is that there’s no room for debate. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve mentioned a report denying global warming comes out, and everyone jumps on me, saying that it’s sponsored by big oil. I just want people to rationally, and calmly debate the issue, rather than getting emotional about it.

Wow VBDon, what the hell have you been smoking? Well I guess just keep on smoking dude cause if you’re right we can just pollute ourselves and warm the earth to achieve world peace.

Just like the mainstream media, you’ve fallen into the typical “two sides to every story” trap which often keeps the real story from being told.

Basically, you’re trying to pigeonhole everyone who is skeptical about climate change and make them out to be crazy conspiracy theorists.

There is a third option… a belief that is held by most climate change skeptics. They don’t think climate change is a hoax, however they feel that it is exaggerated and sensationalized.

Some worst-case scenarios predict sea levels rising nearly a meter in the next hundred years, but the consensus seems to be around 20 to 50 cm. This is clearly a problem, but I take issue with zealots who proclaim global warming to be the single greatest threat to humanity. We still have millions of people around the world dying of curable diseases and malnutrition TODAY… we should be spending our time and money on that.

What is not in doubt is that we are raping this planet with pollution. Don’t anyone let arguments about global warming be a red herring to deflect from the fact that we should clean up the mess we are making.
