The issue is not “global warming”. The issue is the CAUSE of global warming. The flawed argument isn’t necessarily that there’s such a thing a “global warming” or that it may be happening now. The flawed argument is, “We have a global warming problem and, therefore, government must do whatever it has to do [more interference with individuals’ freedoms] to stop it.” It’s a flawed argument because it contains an unproven and flawed “stealth” presumption that man must be the cause of global warming.

The Left wants the debate kept at whether there’s global warming. We need to turn the debate away from that somewhat silly argument. The argument about scientific data and evidence of whether or not "global warming" exists can go on from now 'till Moses. (The Bible does indicate a warm-up and a rising sea in the last days.) It is really beside the point. The more the Right argues this wrong point, the sillier the Right potentially looks and the stronger this oft-unspoken presumption of man-made causes seems to get.

Instead, the Right needs to steer the debate to where the real point is: THE CAUSE. As there may be some debate about whether there’s global warming, there’s no real true, scientific debate that “man is causing global warming”. Arguments need to be advanced to first get this somewhat stealth presumption "out" into the open and then to defeat this Leftist excuse for more government tyranny over our lives. It should be fairly easy to win the debate over this really silly presumed notion.

'The issue is the CAUSE of global warming.'
Hmmm... Now which one could it be? Hmmm...
It's so difficult to figure out!
