It doesn't matter what the facts are, the man made global warming crowd are going to blame it all on greedy republican capitalists.

From the Washington Post of 9 Jul 2009:

When it comes to climate change, the teaching of evolution and the state of the nation’s research enterprise, there is a large gap between what scientists think and the views of ordinary Americans, a new survey has found. ...

According to the survey, about a third of Americans think there is lively scientific debate on both topics; in fact, there is no credible scientific challenge to the theory of evolution and there is little doubt that human activity is altering the chemistry of the atmosphere in ways that threaten global climate.

When I read posts based in a political agenda, I am reminded of the same thinking process that *proved* Saddam had WMDs. Even when numbers exposed those claims as unfounded, some still knew WMDs must exist. Even when the numbers bluntly demonstrate man-made global warming exists, these same *experts* deny it.

From a recent survey by the American Association for the Advancement of Science:

near consensus among scientists about global warming is not mirrored in the general public. While 84% of scientists say the earth is getting warmer because of human activity such as burning fossil fuels, just 49% of the public agrees.

The survey even says why. 85% of scientists say "Public does not know very much about science". 76% say "News does not distinguish between well-founded findings and those are not."

No doubt that mankind has created global warming. The *smoking gun* evidence that decimated any opposition among scientist was published a few years ago. The controversy is only about how the numbers – how much. And still those who parrot a political agenda will deny science.

If he knew, he posted numbers. No numbers says exactly where his information comes from. Exact same source that proved those WMDs - also without numbers.
