It boggles my mind that people buy this junk. "American and international panels of experts concluded as early as 2001 that smokestack and tailpipe discharges of heat-trapping gases were the most likely cause of recent global warming." This is according to "the best possible scientific information".
Here you can see another side of the story. One that is a bit more scientifically rigorous than the New York Times article, and likely more rigorous than the study completed by the "experts".
What they do is create a computer model of the environment and tweak certain numbers. The model runs a number of iterations and spits out a result. The problem is that these models aren't very accurate. The weatherman on tv uses these same kinds of models to make forecasts. The thing is they can't predict the weather with any kind of accuracy more than about five days in advance. Here you have a bunch of yahoos claiming they can predict the changes in the entire global climate over a period of years and decades. Not only that, they have determined that a few factors representing a tiny fraction of the causes of global temperature fluctuation will effectively bring about the destruction of the ecosphere.
These experts aren't pursuing science. They're pursuing their own self interest. They're having a field day and getting paid to tinker with their computer models and every now and then they find themselves in the news. These experts are the frauds in the EPA. They're fat-assed bureaucrats and lawyers who make a killing ripping off the government and companies. They're crooks. Pure and simple.
