I ask the lefties of the forum:
If the Weatherman can't even get a 5-day weather foreccast right, how can we expect people with even less meteorology education to get a 50-year weather forecast right?

I love the fact that it's the most pro-free market people who most deny the Greenhouse effect. It shows that, like all other political issues, what stand one takes on this it has nothing whatsoever to do with facts.

No, it shows that the most pro-free market people tend to be smart enough to know that CO2 and global average temperature both happen to be going up right now is a coincidence. Also, there is no evidence for global warming south of the equator. Also, I would like to argue that even if global warming is caused by CO2 increase, wouldn't the whales contribute more the global warming than humans would?

Sorry while I yawn. I am not a scientist in any way.

Oh, and "There's no monopoly on common sense on either side of the political fence". You libertarians might keep that in mind - some of you are worse than the most fatuous and smug liberal university professor.

I really doubt about the claims of there being no Global warming south of the equator. And again doubts (not solid fact, but doubts) should not get in the way of trying to reform enviormental policy. There's a risk that your quoted scientists are wrong, and it's too big a risk if they are right.

I oppose pollution and all, but I find it ridiculous to regulate a substance that is coming out of our mouths and noses and I type, just because there are some fear mongers out there.

Yawn.  Denying global warming is as stupid as denying evolution.  The same % of the scientific community does both.

It's so typical that the Republicans have politicized this what-should-be-apolitical moral issue.

Funny, bc in an article by Thomas Sowell, it says that many of the scientists that signed that document didn't even approve of it, the people just asked for their name. Does anyone remember the "Next Ice Age" fear during the 70's? I wold also like to point out a correlation between government spending and global average temperature:
