I do not believe in man-made global warming. I do not consider myself a denier. I consider myself a skeptic. It seems to me that the burden of proof is on those who put forth the whole global warming theory. What they have put forth is a computer model that has not been very good at predicting subsequent climate conditions. The data has shown the opposite of what they predicted AND proponents of the theory have been caught fudging the data.

Now, if this was a matter that was relatively inconsequential, say about the life cycle of a woolly caterpillar, I would not care one whit about the issue. But, they are asking our civilization to fork over billions of dollars, as well as sacrificing a large measure of our freedom in the name of 'solving global warming'. I don't trust the politicians glomming on to this issue any more than I trust the scientists faking the data. No denial, just a healthy dose of skepticism.

Leftists have no common sense and deny history - esp re: “globull warming”:

1. Many, many, many moons ago here in SW Ohio we were covered by a 2 mile thick glacier. Where did the warming heat originate to melt the glacier back to the artic?

2. When the Eric & his Vikings landed in Greenland, the island was so warm and lush in vegetation, he named the island “Greenland”. What was the source of the warming heat to create such a lush, green environment - esp considering it is mostly a cold, ice-covered island now?

3. OwlGore was so concerned with oceans rising from globull warming...yet he purchased a beach front mansion in California.

...just a few questions/comments that leftists are unable or unwilling to answer.

Hoaxes are, and always have been, a problem in science. Piltdown man, phrenology, eugenics have all been labeled as scientifically valid and each has eventually disproven by “better” science. Also, scientists will periodically go off on wild goose chases that do damage before the correct relationships, measurements or hypothesis become evident.

I’d put climate change caused by increasing CO2 levels in that last group. The climate is always changing so it’s a difficult study and there are scientists sincerely believing their studies. It’s difficult for people to admit they’re wrong or partly wrong.
