Try this logic on.

Let us say instead of scientists being 75% sure global warming is caused by man they are only 25% sure. The top atmospheric scientists about 95% sure.

And if GW continues it could cause not only great damage to the worlds cities from flooding (main thing my SIL worries about), but extinction via the Permain age phenomenon, then wouldn't one be prudent to guard against it as much as possible. Just in case.

Look at how long the cigarette companies denied cigarettes were not habit forming or dangerous. Hell we all knew not to smoke 50 years before they fessed up.

The corporations which make their money out of carbon fuels do not want GW to be an issue as they would have to spend a lot of money to do something about it.

So they feed their garbage science to the right wing and they buy it lock stock and barrel. Why do they do that?

Bush's head science guy was discovered rewriting scientific reports re GW and quit the next day. And bush's head of the EPA Christine todd whitman got in a lot of trouble for suggesting there might be GW.

According to a recent PEW poll 6% of scientists are Republican and 6% lean Republican while 81% lean democratic. Why is that do you suppose? Bush hated science.

All the time you hear oil/coal/power companies talk about the economics. What the hell difference does it make if our children/grand children end up dying from an overheated planet like the permian age?

Dr Steven CHU (nobel physicist) recently said "we are boiling the planet.
