What planet is Sen. James Inhofe, R-Oklahoma, who calls global warming the biggest hoax ever perpetuated on Americans on?
Doesn't he see what is happening all around him?
As Al Gore stated the only other statement that is as strong is that of the theroy of gravity.

Maybe he's from the same planet as Dr. Claude Allegre. He's a member of both the French and US Academy of Science. He isn't alone, but he is rare in that he was one of the initiators of the global warming THEORY.
quote:
In the 1980s and early 1990s, when concern about global warming was in its infancy, little was known about the mechanics of how it could occur, or the consequences that could befall us. Since then, governments throughout the western world and bodies such as the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have commissioned billions of dollars worth of research by thousands of scientists. With a wealth of data now in, Dr. Allegre has recanted his views. To his surprise, the many climate models and studies failed dismally in establishing a man-made cause of catastrophic global warming. Meanwhile, increasing evidence indicates that most of the warming comes of natural phenomena. Dr. Allegre now sees global warming as over-hyped and an environmental concern of second rank.

Unlike gravity global warming IS a theory.
People see what they want to see and rationalize absolutes on both sides. If they can prove in their model that global warming and cooling isn't cyclical by explaining how Greenland was once free of ice and GREEN, how northern England was once a better wine growing region than Italy, and all the other fluctuations in temperature occurred in relatively recent history, without modern human intervention - I'll accept this theory as better prediction of fact.
Until then I see it for what it is. A source of income and industry for those on the front lines supported by head bobbers who only read and belief people and positions that support their positions.
By the way - should there be an uproar over Ex Vice President Gore's testimony stating that that the theory of global warming is unanimous among all science and scientists? Is that a "lie" or the use of "literary license"? Was he testifying as a documentary film maker or a ex government official? He couldn't be testifying as an "expert" since he has no degree in global weather prediction, or even an advocate since he personally consumes and contributes 10 times the annual energy and carbon emissions than us mere mortal citizens of the US.
