You know, I bought, at least in part, some of the global warming line. I bought based on credibility - the scientific community focused on this topic: I assumed to be credible and more studied on the topic than I. And hey, CO2 DOES interfer with IR light emmesions.

Over the years, I grew uneasy at the flat-out closed mindedness of global warming scientists. The first red flag is the immediate dismissal of anyone who questioned it. Not my topic, but from what little I saw, there appeared to be tentamount to bullying and peer pressure to suppoert this theory. In fact, it wasn't theory, it was SOLID FACT - based on what, 100 years of data? Sort of like predicting where a car is going to go based on .5 s of observation data and the odometer. I bet the same folks basing their careers on that data are saying the last 3 years of declining temeprature data is just a blip. It's pretty comical really.

Another trouble-flag: there just seemed to be a disproportional population of chicken-littles and general ass-hats in the global warming camp.

The unfortunate affect from all this is going to be a serious loss of credibility. The scientific community (e.g. journal publishers, university administrators, editors, etc.) promoted this, they allowed this. And now they are going to suffer the loss of credibility for it. If I were a politician, these folks would be a pretty easy target for budget cuts. Worse, it opens doors to challenging a lot of stuff that probably IS true. "Evolution? it's a theory, promoted by those same crack scientists who've been milking us for the last 20 years about Global Warming".

A conspiracy enthusiast might believe that the whole thing is an invention to facilitate a desired political and/or fiscal outcome.

When one party owns media from soup to nuts, all sorts of oddball ideas seem possible.

I always thought it was cyclic. If I remeber right arent we hit with an ice-age about every 40-50k years? The last one being about 10k years ago. I would assume the opposite would be global warming. I agree with Clay also, the more I try to learn about GW the less I find out, and that is weird, hehe.

@Palooka - Oops! Someone forgot the party line for a few minutes!
