>>Finally, a real scientist comes out with a statement based on fact. The scientific community doesn't all walk in "lock step" regarding global warming. Here's a link and an excerpt from an article by a climate scientist from that school some of you may have heard of - M.I.T.

>Here is an interesting article ironically enough with another MIT professor with an opposing opinion but is disputed by another "expert". I think the problem is there are too many "experts" (on both sides) and Chicken Littles. The ones touting the apocalypse of GW tend to be the ones that omit the most facts.

That's just my point. If the "experts" can't agree, how the heck can we lay persons make a determination? The only thing I can think to do is review what both sides say and make a determination. My assessment is that the earth's temperature ebbs and flows as a part of nature and there is nothing we can do about it. Having worked with many professors, I know they are driven by obtaining funds, and I think that's why we have global warming/cooling.
