Steve, just so I understand you: are you saying the USGS, the US Academy of Sciences, NASA, the IPCC etc are liars?

They are part of the "get a long" crowd. Remember Twains's old gag about "Lies, damn lies, and statistics!" The numbers can be massaged to give any result you like. Nowadays, they have switched to calling it "climate change." Any climate change up, down, or sideways, is blamed on GW. And they are very quiet about the fact that there has been no change for 7 years in global climate.

Let me give you an example. In the 70's and 80's we had the "Nuclear Winter" scare. Physicists said that if we set off Atomic bombs the clouds would form a layer and we would have years of winter. They pushed the hell out of it to try to get us to cave in to the Soviets.

Any Physicist who came out against it would have lost his job.

Then in 91, when the Kuwait oil fires happened, the concept was disproven. The people pushing it immediately shut up. Incidently, a lot of those same people are now pushing GW.
