There is evidence as well as scientific opinion on both sides of the
human-influence factor. Neither your side or the other should trot out
a single study and say "see, that settles it." (Not that you are).


It's amazing the number of people who not only deny that many could
ever have any influence on his global environment, but also insist
that the climate is *not* changing at all...........


Funny, I don't see a lot of folks in that camp, although the Global
Taxing advocates keep citing them. I guess sooner or later I will find
one. My best guess though is it is more of a talking point to
villanize the sceptics.. I guess however if you can keep the arguement
there, where there is really no arguement (weather the earth is
cycling hotter again or not) you don't have to address the very
credible science that says we are not causing it, it's just another
cycle...


I'm surprised you aren't seeing many folks in the "the earth isn't
even warming at all" category. I listen to right-wing talk shows on a
regular basis, (20-30 minutes, a couple of times per week). I have
heard some of the talk show hosts make the following statements, and
every time they do their screeners pass through the predictable 2-3
"confirming" callers that agree with whatever outrageous statement the
host made.


Two of my favorites heard within the last few months:


1. The liberals deliberately put the temperature probes used to
measure global heat trends in the hottest places they could find. Over
asphalt parking lots, on the sunny sides of brick buildings, etc.


2. There are a handful of glaciers actually *increasing* in size, and
if the whole earth was warming like the tax and spend liberals want us
to believe, then no glaciers would be able to grow.


(Sometimes there's a carefully selected individual scientist to add
some crediblity to the schtick).


Not heard on the radio, but heard commonly enough elsewhe "Global
warming is bullship".- Hide quoted text -

Stop listening to hate radio then. I deal with rational folks whenever
I can. And those quotes supposedly made by one and agreed on by
another is not really credible, in fact I suspect the quotes are
"representitive" of what you heard, but not what they said...- Hide quoted text -

You've been missing out on the opinions of Rush's fans in this debate?

Here's an update:

Some of my favorites are the two posts from people who claim extensive
scientific credentials, (but refuse to disclose their identity). Then
there's the guy who wrote: "He put is in charge of the garden, and I
don't think He would allow us to screw it up". I need to move to
wherever he lives, if he thinks we haven't screwed anything up since
the days of the Garden of Eden. :-)
