The latest warning...Global warming is leading to such severe storms, droughts and heatwaves that nations should prepare for an unprecedented onslaught of deadly and costly weather disasters, an international panel of climate scientists says in a report issued Wednesday.
I am concerned as a Global Warming voter that no presidential candidate is addressing what they will do to save the planet.
Who should Global Warming voters vote for in 2012?
ok fine, global warming is real, it has been real since the last ice age. now that it is settled, get rid of all federal and state funding concerning global warming and climate change. let that part of science make it on their own.

Wow... when is this suppose to happen? Let me guess, sometime in the future... You mean to tell me there will be no severe storms, droughts, heatwaves, deadly and costly weather disasters if cut CO2 emissions... what do you mean no? So if we cut CO2 emissions, when will these things happen? In the future... well isn't that ironic, it happens in the future REGARDLESS of CO2 emissions are cut or not... makes me think global warming is a bunch of BS... oh yeah, cause it is...

You fail to take into account the fact that climate scientists' reputations are not going to be traded for a few funding dollars, and the fact that climate scientists who have had their work PEER REVIEWED (the true standard for scientific acceptance, regardless of field of study) all say climate change is occurring, and mans' presence has had a role.
The fact that certain studies are peer reviewed simply means that they are "reviewed" by others in the same field. It has no bearing on how the studies are interpreted and what conclusions are drawn.
ANY scientific study that confirms or refutes a thing or another MUST use THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD! Otherwise, that study doesn't say anything conclusively!
Such studies that don't use the scientific method are usually full of statistical data without any clear scientific meaning that can lead to a clear scientific conclusion. Unfortunately they're the favorites of pseudo-scientists in a variety of fields from psychology, psychiatry, sociology to geology, paleontology and even to things like astrology or intelligent design. The climate "scientists" are also part of this non-scientific crowd that tries to fool the unaware and insufficiently educated average individual, using scientific terminology mixed with flawed logic and ignoring entirely the scientific method and its rigor.
Science is not a matter of opinion and consensus, but of rigorous repeated testing using the scientific method, that confirms or refutes a hypothesis.
If you can't rigorously use the scientific method, then you have no real science, regardless of the field.
Someone tell me!
So I at least know, someone else knows what is really happening, or at least what they wanted to happen, before a wrench was thrown in their plans.
