HEhehe,
Sorry,
I thought the thought which I thought was thoughtful, however sometimes the things which I think are not popular.
May I suggest quotes
TheDivingPreacher:
Im inclined to agree with you... far too many vested interests in the scientific community pushing the latest 'fad'. not all that long ago (70's I think) that scientists were forecasting we would be going into an ice age and I'm sure their evidence was beyond reproach then too! In my oppinion it is partly the media's fault as they do not seem to understand the difference between fat and theory.
The POTENTIAL reduction in temp as a result of Kyoto is tiny, some would say pathetic. I would certainly rather see every single person on this planet being able to drink fresh water for starters.. comparatively far easier and a damn sight less costly to achieve.
TheDivingPreacher:One primary reason
The primary reluctance to treaties like Kyoto, is that while they cost untold billions, there is no scientific evidence that a full implementation will affect global temps at all. The best estimates are that a full implementation MIGHT effect a change of a fraction of one degree.
Anybody interested can write a check to the UN to help fund this.
I think that states the problem with the Kyoto Protocol better than anything I've said.
drbill:
ouch, that hurts bill
For a good read try this, it is not "logic challenged", but quite informative, seriously.

TheDivingPreacher:One primary reason
No one has given or can give any solid evidence that humans are influencing the global climate. We do not need to argue whether or not the climate is changing. WE do not need to argue whether or not we are emitting greenhouse gasses. (regardless of the fact that the period of actual measurements and not estimated changes is extremely short)

Get out your check books.
Well said, amen.
