"There are really two elements to the global warming 
    crowd. On the one hand we have the scientists, on the 
    other hand the political activists. The scientists know 
    that as soon as they acknowledge the role of increase 
    solar activity in global warming their research funds will
    dry up. Much of these research funds are tied to the idea 
    that global warming is caused by the actions of man. The 
    political activists behind the man-made global warming 
    idea have a goal .. .and that goal is to slow the evil 
    machinery of free enterprise. They are, at their core, 
    anti-capitalists; newbie socialists and remnants of the 
    old world-wide communist movement. " -- Neal Boortz
