Global warming does indeed exist. No scientist on earth > denies that. The globe has been warming since about the year 1500. Global warming and global cooling have been around for as long as the earth has been in existence. It goes through cycles of warm and cool. The real question is whether we are in a situation of perpetual warming heading toward disaster or whether this is just another warming cycle that will be followed by cooling. I don't think anyone really knows the answer to that. As you mention below, a separate issue is whether mankind has actually contributed signficantly to this current trend in warming or whether our activities are coincidental with the global warmup that we are clearly experiencing. I think the picture is again not clear. One would be very alarmed if they looked at the significant retreat of the tidal glaciers in glacier bay alaska if they ignored the timeline. Indeed they have been retreating since 1790 with much of the reduction ocurring before 1900. > What IS in question is man's role in it.

The right wingers who religiously deny this are just as bad as the left wingers who religiously believe it. Neither side has the use for meaningful open minded discussions. BTW the only major scientific organization in the world that doesn't believe that man is playing a significant role in global warming is the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Are you affiliated with the petroleum industry by any chance? |

Doesn't matter if the people actually doing the work are from a college. If the financial support for the work came from a corporation with a potential interest in the results, the work must be verified independently. Does that answer your question? |

For instance, in NY state, it wasn't until that oil crisis that the law changed, and allowed us to make a right turn on red. If you were not living in Long Island in the 1970s, you cannot possibly imagine the outrageous traffic, and how many cars sat at red lights, needlessly idling. |

Persuing some mildly cranky agenda based on a mixture of scientific half-truths and envy and a desire to impose an alternative lifestyle on the broader population seems to be more like it. Graham |

How does it prove that ? I believe that's yet more AGW propaganda. The number of sceptical scientists seems to be on the increase. Graham |
