That hardly sounds like it is settled science to me. The difference between you and me is that I have no preconceived ideas on the subject. When I ses hard core facts that can not be disputed, I will admit and champanion the cause that global warming is manmade. Until then, I will call a spade a spade. You see, it is not a political thing with me like it is with the left. I see very good scientists out there saying too different things. That means to me that they really aren't sure one way or the other. You don't have to be very old to remember that the same bunch of scientists were predicting a return of the ice age just a few short years ago. This whole global warming histaria has been way to political for me with many kooky anti US and anti capitalist groups jumping on the bandwagon. China is building one new coalfired power plant per week with around 450 new ones planed.
i don't hear a peep from these groups about that. It is all anti US crap from them.
