Everyone else seems to believe their opinion is fact. Think about that for a minute.

I think I said the AGW "movement" is a scam. That's what I meant, anyway. I thought I said CO2 does heat the atmosphere, but to a point. It is the positive feedback assumptions used in these models that drive the catastrophic predictions. The climategate emails prove beyond reasonable doubt the conspiracy of the holders of the key global temperature measurement data sets to withhold the raw data from any skeptical scientists, to manipulate the data sets to reflect increased warming over time, and their conspiracy to shut down any dissenting papers via the peer review process. If that isn't a conspiracy, I don't know what is. Hopefully, sanity will prevail before the AGW movement destroys our world economy.
