>You have presented no factual information worth considering in the formation of my opinion. I've asked you to back up your statements with facts and you've offered unsupported anecdotes, unreliable wikis and personal belief. Given your own words "I'm going to believe the majority of the really smart scientists", it's clear that you're willing to put your faith in those you regard as more clever than yourself. I am not. I will question and research and come to my own conclusions because history has proven to me that frauds come in all shapes and sizes and the bigger the prize the more willing the corrupt are to attempt to steal it. The prize for AGW is global power and trillion$. The cost is liberty, right down to the air we exhale.

The wikipedia articles site many, many Factual scientific references. If you choose not to read them, that's your own choice, but to say I haven't provided any factual information is false. Worse than that, your statement is intentionally false and misleading.

So you've personally conducted research? I don't think so. You've read articles that reinforce your beliefs same as everyone else (me included). That we choose to believe two different things is based on our biases. You are no better than I or anyone else despite your grandstanding to the opposite. The majority rules in science because the majority have come to the same scientific conclusions, NOT because of a popularity contest.

The cost is liberty, right down to the air we exhale? You're absolutely right on this but not for the reasons you believe.
