The global warming issue is not too complicated: Does burning oil transfer carbon molecules from the oil to air and water? Does increased volume of carbon molecules in air and water trap heat causing an overall temperature rise? Do animals or any part of "Nature" (other than humans) burn oil? Is the climate change caused by the burning of oil (note...not by the burning of the sun or other means) attributable to humans--or to the sun or chipmunks? (Do chipmunks drive cars? Does Apollo pull the sun with horses or with diesel?) Is human impact on climate something they can modify? Is it sufficiently significant that they (we) ought to modify it ("it" meaning...our impact)? I know the answers to the first four questions. And I know that Apollo uses horses. I also know the answer to the first part of the last question. The very last part of the last question is one that scientists should answer for us without prejudice and strictly as a fact of science--without politics.
