As with all crazy cycles, the "Global Warming" religious-like hysteria is finally giving way to some reason. Well, at least reasonable voices are being heard.
Politicians, journalists, and environmentalists have made Global Warming into a well-paying religion using junk science.
"Oh no!" you say. "All scientists agree!" Well, let's start with Carl Wunsch, Professor of Physical Oceanography,Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a Foreign Member of the Royal Society. This piece was written in March 2006. See: http://www.royalsoc.ac.uk/page.asp?id=4688&tip=1
If you really want to see the story it will take you 1 hour and 15 minutes to watch this BBC documentary. IF you pride yourself on your intellect and or your knowledge of current affairs, you should invest the time to watch this documentary. You'll see:
--BBC footage from the 1970s warning of global cooling
--Testimony that IF Global Warming is real, then the differences between the tropical areas and polar areas should be less and hurricanes should be fewer (but that view doesn't leave room for hysteria)
--Testimony from a co-founder of Greenpeace as to the importance of GW to organizations like Greenpeace
--How the whole idea of global warming came as a reaction to coal miner strikes in the UK (that's a BBC view)
--How funding for "Global Warming" research is a 10++ billion dollar annual business that has it's own momentum and is distorted by the chase for the money
--How cow farts turn out more "greenhouse gas" than all the cars and trucks in the world. (and volcanoes produce more than cow farts)
--How the UN IPCC edited the published reports on Global Warming to corrupt the peer review process and to "spin" the report to support the conclusions they wanted.

Finally.. if you would rather get your information from books - then see Michael Crichton's book: "State of Fear" .. available from any library. Or, see this recorded interview at http://www.michaelcrichton.net/
As a minimum, please find out more before you believe anything your hear abut the impact of man on Global Warming.
