Fucking Balloon: There is no proof OF global warming. The "scientists" who claim it exists are idiots, liars or charlatans. They are driven by greed for GRANT money, and have shitcanned any objectivity they may have once had to feed that greed. (In other words, the global warming fraud is a TYPICAL phony enviro-whacko 'crusade'.) They don't NEED to be argued with. They need to be rounded up and secured behind barbed wire. You tell the VICTIMS of this fraud to prove it's a fraud. That makes you an accessory...

Ex-Oil Lobbyist Was In Charge Of Global Warming Reports POSTED: 7:16 am MDT June 9, 2005 WASHINGTON -- The White House is playing down changes made in government reports on global warming by a former oil industry lobbyist. Spokesman Scott McClellan said the revisions were part of a normal review and did not violate a pledge to rely on sound science. Documents provided to the Government Accountability Project, a nonprofit group, showed that a White House official who once headed the oil industry's lobbying on climate change edited reports on the topic in 2002 and 2003. The edits -- published in The New York Times -- play up doubts on whether so-called "greenhouse gases" from human activity really cause climate change. Philip Cooney's changes in several federal reports tended to emphasize the uncertainty of climate science and the environmental impact of climate change, according to a summary of the documents provided by the advocacy group. McClellan rejected suggestions that Cooney had "watered down" the reports. McClellan said the resulting reports were still "scientifically sound." Cooney led the American Petroleum Institute's fight against greenhouse gas limits before he joined President George W. Bush's Council on Environmental Quality in 2001. The Times said Cooney has no scientific training. But McClellan calls him a "policy person" whose editing is "part of the interagency review process." Environmentalists have accused Bush and top aides of claiming doubt about mankind's role in global warming -- when the vast majority of scientific evidence supports a link.
