No offense was intended. I get tired of people that deny the problems
associated with global warming, and the scientific concensis about
it. It is too big of a problem to ignor.
A study was done recently of "peer reviewed" scientific literature
on the subject of global warming recently. Of 1000 articles selected
randomly from 10 years of published articles on the subject, not one
refuted global warming or refuted human influence in it. The scientific
concensis is clear. Even if it wasn't, can we afford to take the chance?
There is a tendancy in the current administration to ignor real science
whenever it is politically expedient. The number of scientific studies
and reports which have been modified before release by political
"hacks" is scary. Science should not be held captive to politics.
