List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming
More than 31,000 scientists across the U.S. – including more than 9,000 Ph.D.s in fields such as atmospheric science, climatology, Earth science, environment and dozens of other specialties – have signed a petition rejecting "global warming," the assumption that the human production of greenhouse gases is damaging Earth's climate.
"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate," the petition states. "Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."

Here's my take on "global warming" or "climate change" or whatever you want to call it this week:
Plants breathe carbon dioxide and convert it into oxygen, humans and many other animals breathe said oxygen and convert it back into co2 and so on and so on. For folks to try to convince skeptics that co2 which is a natural gas is suddenly the sole cause of "global warming" seems to be a stretch. Didn't we just come out of an ice age 20,000 years ago? Ok I know most people think that 20,000 years is a long time but earth has been around for over 4 billion years. 20,000 years is about the equivalent of a blink of an eye on such a grand time table.
Has anyone ever considered perhaps the sun's activity? I mean it is a huge volatile ball of burning gas speeding through outer space. Or what about the earth's own axis and orbit, or even the moon's potential influence on earth's climate? There is evidence that supports the possibility that the earth has experienced several pole shifts. Could that have an impact on climate also? What about the colder places on the earth like Greenland, much of Russia, Northern Canada etc etc? wouldn't those places now become beachfront resorts? why would that be such a bad thing? Unless of course you believe that notion that water levels will rise because of melting blah blah blah...
Disclaimer: I am not a scientist and this is just my own assessment at face value. I find the idea of global warming to be a sham and the solutions that have been offered up to solve the "problem" are nothing more than over regulatory and too expensive to enforce. The burden always falls back on consumers.
And just for fun...
