I am amazed at the blind faith people place on scientific pronouncements -- when their own intellect tells them that something just doesn't add up. In their search for "truth," scientists are influenced by politics and biases just like the rest of us. Very true. When you reached the level where you can show a sick tree and "prove" global warming (not a day goes by that I don't hear some variant of this in media, since anything bad now "proves" global warming and there's always something bad), you have gone past hysteria and straight into religious dogma. A new green dogma. Repend your sins to Gaia. I've seen some conservative bloggers who are practicing psychologist suggest that classical projection is operating here, in the form of removing / denying an uncontrollable fear (such as of nuclear war or another 9/11) and moving it onto a more controllable object, such as global warming. I'm not sure if I buy it, but the situtation is extremely weird. You have millions of people taking their eyes off the ball wrt exisiting problems in order to concentrate their time attention and $$$ onto something which might happen 50 years from now. Or might not happen ever.
