Ninety per cent of the "opposition" to the prevalent theories of global
warming are based upon nothing more than traditional conservative (it's
going to hurt the corporations) bull****. The cons are afraid that if we
have to take steps to curtail our contributions to warming, it will hurt
their stocks. That's really all there is there. It's the same kind of
pigheaded thinking that has so many conservatives speaking up for
anti-science concepts that oppose evolution and the unrestricted use of
stem cells, and all the rest of the happy horse****. To even engage the
cons on these issues is to give them credence they don't deserve.

I wouldn't lump Tom in there. I think he just has a contrarian nature. ;-) Hey, I believe skepticism is a
good trait, but it is interesting that some will deny all the years of data and study on this most
extensively studied planetary body, but accept a couple of pictures from the Global Surveyor as proof
the sun is causing all of this global warming. All the while, ignoring the Sun is the second most studied
planetary body. It does take some mental gymnastics.
