May I point out something.
Few if anyone says that global warming is not happening.
Some argue that the warming is not man made.
Some argue that global warming is good.
No one says it is not happening.

1. Proponents of manmade global warming are deeply concerned that unless the world acts now, the mean temperature of the earth may rise a few degrees over the next century. In other words, today’s temperature would become “abnormal” and hence we must change our way of life to prevent that from occurring. According to the world’s scientists, the mean temperature of the earth has risen 6/10s of one degree Celsius over the past one hundred years. But the earth has experienced dramatically different mean temperatures over its billions of years of existence; indeed, it has witnessed widely varying temperatures over the just the past two millennia, and over the last several centuries. Question 1: How do we know that today’s mean temperature is “normal” and what the temperature we should be altering our entire way of life in order to maintain should be? Indeed, can you point to a lengthy period of Earth’s history where the globe‘s temperature was constant and “perfect?”

There was a thread yesterday which highlighted a debate between two scientists (Gray and Emanuel):
Gray said that Humans were not the cause of Global Warming.
Emanuel responded that only an idiot would deny that Global Warming was taking place.
It just shows how dishonest the Eco-freaks are in their efforts to change our society.
This is true. But as was pointed out in at least one global warming thread yesterday, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) makes the leap that if there is global warming it must be anthropogenic. That is the rub -- they assume that all climate change is human caused and propose their one-world, government controlled "solutions" to solve the problem. So any opposition or dissenting viewpoints must by suppressed and crushed.
Not really true. The entire concept of an "average" temperature, on which the global warming advocates depend, is in dispute. Additionally, there are many scientists who scoff at the idea that we can know what the "average" temperature of the earth is, to a degree or less, even now let alone 100 years ago.
