>>Another question I have is why do some people assume that those who believe GW is caused by human activity are motivated by an antipathy to individual freedom and commerce? Where does that idea come from? I don't recall seeing anything like that.<< Karen - I do. On this forum, within the past two hours. Here's the link: Message 24501146 And here's the quotation from that post: "People should oppose global warming alarmism! Ever since 1798, when Thomas Malthus predicted that food supply would fail to keep up with population growth, the enemies of individual freedom and free enterprise have used scare tactics to advance their agenda." And that's not the first time I've seen that idea advanced on this thread. It's a frequently repeated meme among GW debunkers. In this case, I probably shouldn't be concerned, since the source (the OISM) has been thoroughly discredited, and I'm sure would not be taken seriously by anyone with any sense. - Allen
