Well said--as a geologist who studies climate change for a living, I can absolutely tell you it is junk science. If you can get someone whom is covinced about global warming to discuss it rationally, then they will admit that there have been many global warmings and coolings (called ice ages) long before man came along--their stock answer is "yea, but man is accelerating it!" (We place a lot more importance on ourselves than we deserve.)

Amen, brother.
I am, or course, more than a landowner and part-time rancher. I am a Chemical Engineer by training and I was also trained in the family business of auto and light engine repair. I am also convinced that Global Warming is not proven at this point, and even if it were it is doubtful that humanity as a whole could possibly emit the levels necessary to affect such a change. What really troubles me about the Global Warmers is not the science however, but the utter lack of intellectual thought these people use. They are a nasty cross between Nazis and the religious fanatics of yesteryear. Did you ever try and debate these people before? They practically charge you with heresy for even daring to question the veracity of the belief. It is precisely this fanatacism that bothers me about these folks. In the mean time, I love my diesel pickups, the old tractor, and the motorcycles. For that matter, I lvoe my CO2-emitting horses as well. THey can pry all from my cold, dead hands.
The global warming hoax continues its slide to irrelevance as country after country issue statements that they can’t meet their CO2 reduction goals under the Kyoto Protocol.
Italy stated its dropping out when the Kyoto scam expires in 2012. Japan admitted it can’t meet its target of reducing CO2 emmisions to 6% below 1990 levels. Britian said likewise.
Canada said it won’t fulfill its commitment because the average Canadian citizen would throw a fit if told he needs to cut energy consumption by 25%. Light by candles, pounding socks on a rock and travelling via voyager canoe would not be warmly received by our Canadian cousins.
The luddites, Marxists and dirt worshippers meeting in Argentina to pound countries over the head with the global warming farce are saying that Kyoto is dead. This is despite the reams of propaganda shovelled out by the compliant leftist press. Perhaps tens of thousands of scientists calling global warming “unproven” and a “lie” have something to do with that.
