Don't hear the word "consensus" being thrown around anymore. That lie
has left the building long ago.....
Most of the thinking world accepts the concept of global warming, a good
majority accepts the idea that man is a heavy contributor to it, and
most believe we can take positive steps to cut back the damage we are
doing to the environment.
Has the "temperature" of the Earth ever been higher than it is now? If
yes, why? Did humans cause that warming?
Global warming is a chance for governments to grab more money from the
economic producers of the world.
We're always had and will have those who believe that the world is flat,
man will never fly, the Titanic cannot sink, and that the death penalty
is justified, but those sorts become nothing more than footnotes of
history.
And there are those who believe Al Gore's slide show presents facts.
