Sure, whatever you say. It is your thread and I will obey your rules, so I'll be more careful in the future. Or if you want me to stop postng, just PM me and I will be on my way.

I wasn't sure. The thread header says politics of energy. The debate on global warming (certainly the center piece of energy debate) has become nothing but politics, pretty much divided between right and left.

The question regarding if man is causing global warming should be nothing but pure science.

Either man is causing global warming, or he is not. So the only way politics enters the debate is when people, like oil and coal executives, hire people to muddy up the water and try to make it political. Like the cigarette companies did. So then the question becomes, how are the detractors attempts to muddy the debate manifesting the question and issue, it seems to me?

The left pretty much believes in global warming caused by man and the right does not. People say they want to discuss stuff unitl they can't defend their position, then out comes the ignore button. See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.

It reminds me of how the cigartette companies denied for over 50 years that cigarettes were addictive or caused cancer, or that DDT, lead, mercury and PCB's were harmless.

But I try to respect all threads rules. If I do not like them I can leave. I do appreciate a PM though asking me to leave and I will. Quietly.
