"Global warming or a lot of bunkum?"

"Hardnews" starts to get skeptical here. (If you're a climate skeptic, the whole article should warm the cockles of your heart.)

Excerpts:
All the articles that we carried in the past in Hardnews merely corroborated the impending doom caused by greenhouse affect. They were no help.
...
As I probed deeper on the net I found a running battle between those who believed “science was settled” on the issue of climate change and there was an urgent need for governments to act — and the “deniers”, who thought otherwise.
...
What is really obfuscating this important issue is politics. All those who hate Bush and his oil politics have come together to push hard for policies that reduce global warming, without really knowing whether the rise in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases temperature. A recent CPM statement on climate change is an example of their desire to climb the global warming band wagon. What would be interesting is to watch if this present winter extends longer than in the past, forcing the geriatric political leadership to hang on to its woollens. Would they still talk of global warming or change their tune?
