I know, Bob. I’ve seen some of the posts. It reminds me more of a faith than a scientific theory. I would imagine that the true believers would be upset at one calling it a “theory” instead of a “scientific fact”. Of course, it does take a fair amount of faith to believe in anthropomorphic global warming since there is a fair amount of evidence that contradicts it. Then when “heretics” like you come along then it makes it even more difficult to keep the faith.

As for me, I’m trusting in the one who really has it all in His hands. We are the stewards of this planet and we certainly need to take care of it, however, we fool ourselves into thinking that we have a lot more control over this old world than we really do. If we want to reduce pollution and develop alternative energies then I’m all for that. But “cap and trade” will do nothing other than lower our standard of living and give India and China even more of a competitive advantage. I am certainly NOT for that.

Try posting a rational approach on some of these here webpages and see how fast you get blasted as being a “denier” when all you call for is proper methodology.

I’m afraid that science is out the window on this one since global warming has become a hot political topic. It is a complex issue and one that should be hashed out by scientists, not politicians. But, hey! You can’t let a little contradictory evidence get in the way of a good theory, especially when there are grants to be earned and political fortunes to be made.
