All we boneheads are asking for is a little discussion on the science; solid proof that CO2 is even a pollutant, especially since any corrective actions taken against it (read: wealth distribution) are so potentially damaging to an already fragile economy.

AD: ‘ Where’s the “Science Story of the Century”?‘ by Dennis T. Avery , 6/19/11
What’s dull about the earth going into a temperature decline in the midst of a battle to the death over America’s wealth, between the Sierra Club and the mass of warming-skeptical voters?

Their beliefs are heavily based on computer models. Skeptics believe that the warming is moderate, mostly beneficial, is part of the earth’s natural and long-established cycling, and is unstoppable in any case. (Oversimplified? You bet!)
