I believe there are, currently, many scientists and some politicians calling for the heads of the present-day Global Warming skeptics.

We may become more knowledgeable but we don't become less hubristic and venal. Our current superstitions (e.g., CO2 causes Global Warming, WE can stop Global Warming) may be disproved in a few hundred years--though only if mankind survives. I predict it will not be Global Warming that destroys us.

You're right. It doesn't pay to be a skeptic! Fall in line, believe what They tell you, and you won't get hurt.

[Martin Gardien]

Now I understand why in Germany were so many witches burned. Therefore there are less skeptics in Germany nowadays because there were all burned. Hope in America there are some witches alive you will save us and the world. I am a skeptic and I have a hard time here, but I am still alive.

She scares the believers. They want it to be true oh so badly.

I forgot goverment is unbiased, transparent and always honest. Only companies have self-interest and an agenda. Not government, no sir...

What about assuming everyone has an agenda, analyze both sides and try to make your own opinion about the subject?

[rubenximenes]

So the other scientists don't receive money from oil company's? Maybe they don't receive money at all, don't need government grants and do all the research out of their own pockets...

Maybe sounder minds will eventually prevail in the climate debate.

Burn the witch! If only more people with credentials would speak out in this way about this almighty con claiming global cookeryness is going to kill the kiddies.

Oh how they do pretend! They will gaol volcanoes for erupting illegally and round up tsunami waves for prosecution.

These nongs cannot accurately predict the official interest rates in one year's time, in an environment entirely crafted and managed by humans. Why do they pretend they can predict the weather in 100 years?
