Lets let the advocates of the GW "theory" do some talking:
"I believe it is appropriate to have an overrepresentation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience." - Al Gore (May 24th, 2006 – The Washington Times)
"We have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we may have. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest." -Stephen Schneider (a leading advocate of the global warming theory, in an interview for Discover magazine, Oct 1989)
"In the United States...we have to first convince the American People and the Congress that the climate problem is real." -Bill Clinton in a 1997 address to the United Nations
"Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing -- in terms of economic policy and environmental policy." -Tim Wirth, while U.S. Senator, Colorado. After a short stint as United Nations Under-Secretary for Global Affairs he now serves as President, U.N. Foundation, created by Ted Turner and his $1 billion "gift"
"No matter if the science is all phony, there are collateral environmental benefits.... Climate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world." -Christine Stewart, Minister of the Environment of Canada recent quote from the Calgary Herald
Then, of course, we have the others:
"Researchers pound the global-warming drum because they know there is politics and, therefore, money behind it. . . I've been critical of global warming and am persona non grata." -Dr. William Gray (Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado and leading expert of hurricane prediction, in an interview for the Denver Rocky Mountain News, November 28, 1999)
"Scientists who want to attract attention to themselves, who want to attract great funding to themselves, have to (find a) way to scare the public . . . and this you can achieve only by making things bigger and more dangerous than they really are." -Petr Chylek (Professor of Physics and Atmospheric Science, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia - commenting on reports by other researchers that Greenland's glaciers are melting - Halifax Chronicle-Herald, August 22, 2001)
"In the long run, the replacement of the precise and disciplined language of science by the misleading language of litigation and advocacy may be one of the more important sources of damage to society incurred in the current debate over global warming." -Dr. Richard S. Lindzen (leading climate and atmospheric science expert- MIT)
"Science should be both compelling and widely accepted before Federal regulations are promulgated." -Dr. David L. Lewis (27-year veteran of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and critic of the agency's departure from scientific rationale in favor of political agenda - in an interview for Nature Magazine, June 27, 1996)

So, it all boils down to (since none of us are scientists or climatoligists here), who would you believe? The advocates of the GW theory who freely admit to making stuff up to 'scare' the public into believing, or the level-headed people saying "take a realistic approach"?

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
