Just so's ya know.

CFrance I agree with you in general. However I am one who used to believe in "Manmade Global Warming". Any time "Global Warming" or "Climate change" is mentioned the Manmade part is inferred no matter how it is labeled or spun and what it is called.

So why do I not believe in it today? Mainly because about 15 years ago it started no not smell right to me. Once people started to propose money making enterprises, such as "Carbon Credits". That made me raise an eyebrow. Now with the theory of the "Hockey Stick" found to be...... A hoax would be too strong of a word. So let's say poor scientific practice. There is NO PROVEN link between manmade CO2 emissions and a rise in the Earth's temperature. I can not believe any scientific research that builds off of the "Hockey Stick" theory. The scientific community has to re-prove everything as far as I am concerned.

I do not care that the emails dis-proving the "Hockey Stick" theory were stolen. I only care what they say and that the incriminated scientists do not deny any of it.

I'm not saying that the rise in the over all Earth's temperature is not caused by manmade things. I am saying it has NEVER been proven to my satisfaction. I am open to the idea, but you have to prove it. And I do not believe any climate change scientists whose funding relies on perpetuating this agenda. Nor any scientists whose funding relies on dis-proving it. I have found one with who I find very credible though. His name is Richard Linden of MIT. Here is an article about him and his work.

I say again, I am open to the idea, but you have to prove it to me first.

No bomb tossing folks, this is just a fairly researched opinion that likely clashes with some others.
