I'm a recent convert to denial. For a long time I accepted global warming because the data presented to me indicated it was so. I seriously doubted it was man made because the claims just didn't jive with history.

Now that it seems even the data indicating warming was falsified in an apparent wide-spread conspiracy, I can say my view at the moment is based on not the science but the fact that the folks presenting the data to me have been lying through their teeth and manipulating the peer-review system to support their agenda. Since their credibility is in serious question, at this time I find myself more inclined to believe the scientists who deny because their only source of discredit so far has come from a group of folks with a substantial amount of evidence indicating they are liars.

Normally I don't subscribe to the practice of shooting the messenger but if the messenger is a known liar.......

Yes and water vapor is also the largest greenhouse gas of them all trumping CO2 by many magnitudes, perhaps we should ban water?

If you can't win based on your fallacious argument with volcano change the subject! Or even better argue over semantics because the facts rip your argument down at every turn

No, we need to stop breathing. Every breath we take pollutes the world.

Here's some articles on Global Warming.

Gore Urges Scientist to Change Science to Suit His Alarmist Agenda

Greenland Ice Find Debunks Al Gore’s Global Warming Theories
NewsBusters

Oceans are cooling according to NASA

Polar bear expert barred by global warmists - Telegraph

DailyTech - Survey Less Than Half of all Published Scientists Endorse
Global W

Weather Channel Founder Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’ NewsBusters

So everyone is wrong but the richest one?

Al Gore could become world's first carbon billionaire - Telegraph

Just do some research and you'll find the truth. The info is out there but not getting thru, just like the media ignoring the e-mails confirming the lie.
There's ALOT of money at stake for alot of people. Money is the root of all evil!!

Typical right wing tactics.

Evidence is presented, ignore and change topics. Please keep it up

So what is your point? Even assuming this is true? After all, we have already seen how the GW folks are so hard-core religious in their agenda they have to manipulate the figures and try and stifle (by any means necessary) the opposition. I tell ya...they are worse than any Southern Baptists I have ever seen..and I have lived around them all my life. Hell, I AM one of them, when it comes right down to it.

And...I will be the first to admit that I am not a "pure scientist." Not even close. There are so many things I know little to nothing about...and that includes all the pure sciences mentioned above.

BUT...you seem to be making the association that those who adopt a liberal vision of the world -- again, even if the coorelation exists -- and the fields you bring up -- gives it default credibilty.

Sorry, it doesn't work that way.

For one thing, common sense and wisdom makes fools -- so very often -- out of those who have the best "education" in the world.

I would say the first order of business would be to go after anybody who was pushing cap and trade and run them out of office and expose their corruption.

It's very difficult for people to admit they were wrong about something that was so dear to them; it hurts. But it can also be very cathartic.
