Please...I've read much of the literature pro and con. I've decided it's not a hoax. I think Romney is correct. There is global warming and man possibly contributes to it. You really need to understand that just because there are a group of scientists that support the proposition you were predisposed to believe does not mean the scientists who hold a contrary view are wrong. The consensus of the anti-global warming scientists is that the hockey stick is bogus, the data manipulated, and the conclusions not supported empirically. However, they don't make the leap to climate change denial; rather, they say the planet gets hotter, the planet gets cooler so we really cannot say the extent to which man plays a role.

I guess “brainwashed” is the right’s equivalent of the left calling someone racist. Disagree with Obama, you're a racist. Disagree with a conservative, you're brain washed. Next time you wish to challenge a point, I suggest you refrain from name calling and simply cite a reputable source. I can easily evolve (like Mitt on choice/abortion).

I am not posting links to articles supporting global warming/climate change for 2 reasons: 1.doing so here is a waste of time and 2. I don't care about global warming. What I care about is making sure that whoever is elected will NOT champion policies designed to address the issue. There is so much uncertainty concerning man's role in climate change that it would be foolish changing an entire economy to address what is quite possibly a non-problem or a problem that would be better addresses down the road with better technology and science. My problem is also calling the issue a hoax. It marginalizes the speaker causing the listener to take less seriously valid points the speaker raises.

I understand the fear that Mitt is not a conservative (as Rush pointed out); however, at some point people need to grow up and realize that there is not a conservative in the present field that will beat Obama (other than perhaps Perry if he learns how extemporaneously to articulate a coherent thought).

I’m sorry you have been so influenced by bad science. Consensus is NOT a science-minded state. Major players in the Climate Change School of Thinking are upping the ante by telling the public it is better to keep “skeptics, contraians” from being given a seat at the news table, as their views represent a danger because they confuse/disrupt accepted consensus and that cannot be allowed because danger to the planet is so acute.

Look up Trofim Lysenko and Lysenkoism.

Perhaps you are in a career that uses climate change as it’s purpose for being. If so, certainly those are marketable skills, modeling is very techie and could find many good uses.
