Seriously though, I'm not saying global warming doesn't exist, but it is greatly, greatly blown out of proportion. Many would argue that it doesn't exist. In fact, all of the pHd holding climatologists in the United States (I think there were only about 65 in the article I read several years ago) don't really believe in global warming, or believe it's not a big problem at all. Funny considering they know the most about it. :/ , don't ya think?

Funny how only American climatologists, many of them invested in by corporations who would oppose emission regulations, seem to be the only opinions that matter to you.

I however do agree that the issue has taken on more of a political nature than a scientific one, but this runs both ways. People like Rush Limbaugh have gone out of their way to argue that global warming doesn't exist. That of course is a falshood, so the new company line now is "well, it exists, but so what?" They should make up their minds.

Also, they justed tested increase C02 levels in relation to crop production and found that as c02 levels increased, so did crop yields. This is contrary to the popular opinion that global warming would hurt and destroy global food production.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the concern is crop production, per se. Wasn't the issue that g.w. would raise crop lines, with the ultimate doomsday prediction being that our fly-over state crop resources would ultimately leave us for Canada....? Not certain, just speculating.
