		<description>This one&#039;s fairly persuasive. A rocket scientist and carbon accountant for Australia&#039;s Greenhouse Office has reversed his position on global warming, stating, 

&lt;blockquote&gt;by 2007 the evidence was pretty conclusive that carbon played only a minor role and was not the main cause of the recent global warming.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Read the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,24036736-7583,00.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;full article&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>Thanks Steve, I read the article, and it raises some good points. There do seem to be two sides with conflicting stories, both of which have truth in them. CO² does trap heat which contributes to global warming. How much is debatable. Likewise the sun does influence temperatures, but how much is also debatable. To further confuse our understanding, some scientists are predicting the earth will &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7376301.stm&quot; title=&quot;BBC&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;cool over the next ten years&lt;/a&gt;, and in 1974 Times magazine warned of a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,944914,00.html&quot; title=&quot;Time&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;coming Ice Age&lt;/a&gt;!

When in doubt, blame the New World Order. That&#039;s what I do. Let&#039;s look at those evil men in the shadows and see what they have said in the past on this subject (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/007/earth-day.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;from here&lt;/a&gt;):

 &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill...&quot; &lt;i&gt;The First Global Revolution, Club of Rome, an elite think-tank (David Rockefeller, Gorbachev, etc.) working with the UN.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>My point is that this drive to ignore Global Warming seems to me to be an attempt by Big Oil to convince us to continue using fossil fuels rather than develop cheap, enviromentally safe, and reusuable sources of energy. If the last three decades of idiot presidents from my country would have realized this many of the current disasters and looming ones might have and may been avoided. Jimmy Carter was right to put solar panels on the White House and Ronnie was a fool to take them down. 

Maybe we are being lied to by both sides, but it does seem odd that the planet began an before unheard of continous warming trend about the same time the Industrial Revolution started.

As far as the Warming Sun theory, it&#039;s base seems to be built on a rubbage heap as well.

		<description>You probably think I watch these videos and believe everything they say, but that couldn&#039;t be further from the truth. I actually try to verify the claims they make. 

As for 9/11, nobody wants to believe Loose Change, but the official explanation just falls apart when you study it closely. If you&#039;d like to help me understand your reasons for believing the Osama bin Laden story, I&#039;d welcome that.</description>

		<description>The alternative theory about global warming is something to do with an increase in &quot;sunspots&quot; (planet-sized explosions on the sun&#039;s surface). We all know that the sun generates warmth, so it seems to make sense that activity on the sun would affect temperatures on Earth. It would also explain why Mars and other planets are (supposedly) warming up, too.

If it is true that the sun, not CO², is responsible for global warming, then we are being lied to. I&#039;m sure everyone is happy to reduce pollution, but we are unhappy about being lied to, the fear mongering, and then the threat of various greenhouse gas taxes (e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/main.jhtml?xml=/motoring/2008/07/10/mroadtax410.xml&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&#039;green&#039; car tax&lt;/a&gt;).

What about all the scientists that blame CO²? These seem to be &quot;singalong&quot; scientists that give support to the people who are funding their research. Here&#039;s a great article to show how &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/20/washington/20generals.html?hp=&amp;pagewanted=all&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;authority figures are used in the media to support a government&#039;s cause&lt;/a&gt;.

Anyway, my point is yes we should cut pollution, but we shouldn&#039;t be subject to all this &quot;eco&quot; propaganda based on junk science.</description>

		<description>Well, I hope you guys are right, but from what I&#039;ve read the current Global Warming trend we are experiencing has been mainly caused by humans. 

 But I also have to ask, why wouldn&#039;t we want to reduce CO2 out put? It definately causes dangerous pollution, acid rain, and ugly skylines all over the world. Getting ourselves off of oil should be a major priority, but judging from the G8 Summit economics for the rich have once again stolen the day.</description>

		<description>Yay! Come over to my side, where things aren&#039;t so dire. :-) We need more people and all. (Unless...ahem...you mean you are convinced now that anthropogenic global warming is an inevitable impending catastrophe. In which case, sorry for the assumption.)</description>
