I have Just read Ian Plimers's Heaven and Earth - it is well written, by a scientist who knows his stuff. This should be mandatory reading before entering this nonsensical debate that will have us all paying through the noses, lets see who supports it then.

Peter, you really do need to learn something about the scientific method. People who try to
accurately quantify risk by using words like "likely", "more likely","possibly", "expected", "inferred", "may" are behaving precisely as scientists should. And really thats the issue here; "risk". Since a clear majority of respected scientests are saying we got a problem then sheer basics tell us that we ought not to take the risk of ignoring them. But no it seems that unless you can have absolute unassailabe proof you're not budging. Thats fine but I'm pleased to say you're in the minority. Even assuming we are all being hoodwinked you might want to consider the price we pay if you are wrong (human existence wiped out) and the price we pay if you are right (we lose a few bucks to another scam). I sincerely hope you feel the weight of that responsibility when you try and convince us all that we need do nothing about global warming.
Also Ron made the point earlier. If the $$$ is anywhere its on the side of the argument that wants us to disbelieve global warming. Take a look at the negotiations in Denmark at the moment. Could anything be clearer then that its industry and mining that does not want us to take any precautions against global warming. A crash copurse in logic would assit you greatly I think.
