Well listening to talk radio got me interested on the topic. Then I read some articles and watched both The Inconvenient Truth and The Great Global Warming Swindle, and the evidence presented in the latter made much more sense than the former.
I then did some reading on Wikipedia cause I think its a great starting point for any type of research. I read and watched presentations from both sides and I just do not think that CO2 is the primary cause of global warming like the general public believes.
I think that this is one big political movement from a bunch of anti-capitalists and extremist groups. There has been a false industry created because of this.
Even though I have stated in this thread that I don't like man made global warming exists, my true stance is that the science is in its infancy, and that a conclusion was reached way too quickly. I am not an expert on this issue, but just some quick work on google will tell you that the theories presented by Gore, Suzuki, Mann, etc...are bunk.
No one that is pro man made global warming has been able to awknowledge the fact that the rate of CO2 levels have been higher than temperature levels more than once in the Earth's history. And the thing that angers me the most is that these groups won't even look at the debate. It is like a religion, and Al Gore is jesus. If you disagree, you are some outcast.
The other thing that angers me is that only one side of the debate is shown on main stream TV. Yes there have been some documentaries shown on TV, but majority of it as been one sided. It just blows me away when I see TV reporters report this like it is a fact. NO! It is a theory. Some how this theory has turned into FACT. There is a big difference.
The absolute best article on the topic is one done by Micheal Creighton. In this article he questions BOTH sides and really picks the issue apart.

The people and politicians that believe in this are hypocrytes IMO. If they were really serious about stopping CO2 produced global warming, they would not have credit trading. They could just have hard caps for all countries. Can you imagine if we could trade cap space in the NHL?
The other side of this debate needs to be heard. I just wish I could some how make this voice louder.....
