It's frustrating when people won't focus on the main salient point. Which is:
1. The case for "warming" is not certain. Evidence exists that in fact the earth is cooling that even the advocates of the warming argument note is significant. 2. The case for CO2 being a primary cause is especially uncertain. 3. The argument that the provisions of the Copenhagen treaty will have the climatological effect promised, as compensation for the deleterious economic and political consequences anticipated, is completely unproven. In fact, most people don't even know what the hell is in that treaty proposal. If there was ever a topic that used FUD for its primary form of persuasion, it's "climate change" nee "global warming". "We're all going to die in 2 mos if we don't sign this treaty!" Huh!? If there was ever a case of a politician "play[ing] on our fears" it's Algore's bitter revenge for losing the 2000 election, in the form of his tireless mission to destroy the US Constitution via Copenhagen. All you smarty pants that think you figured out how Dubya "duped" everyone into the Iraq War better pay attention before it's too late. Algore et al. are pulling off a REAL effort to fake intelligence to commit the US to a truly destructive set of policies. - Publius On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 1:52 PM, Michael Madigan <[email protected]> wrote: > Nick, > > I never said the Earth wasn't warming, I said it wasn't caused by Carbon > Dioxide or Man.
