Duh, you see many folks, just not the ones that need government grants.

There's no proof of global warming, it doesn't even make sense.


There you go, JAFM. A good example of "there's no proof that earth is
even warming at all", and right here in the NG. I wouldn't be
surprised to find that almost 1/3 of Americans agree with that
sentiment.

I disagree, to the point where I believe the earth is in a warming
trend. I also believe that warming and cooling trends have long been a
part of the natural cycle. My concern is that we might warm too much
and too quickly; and *if* that's a possibility we should be concerned.
I don't subscribe to the "it's all man's fault" school of thinking,
but neither am I prepared at this point to say that we are unable to
screw up the climate just as we have screwed up much of the rest of
our environment.
