< what would you call people who do not believe in it< Look, I am not saying that Global Warming is not happening, nor has it happened in the past. As well as Global Cooling, Ice Ages, etc. The Earth has cooled and warmed in the past, and will do so in the future. Ecosystems have changed, etc. All I am saying is that I don't participate in the "near hysteria" of the whole thing. Look, people do things and participate in these type of movements to provide themselves with a sense of purpose, and in some cases.. a sense of "intellectual superiority". I just don't go around and get all excited about feeding the "media circus" with hypothetical thesis presented as facts to prove a particular agenda. This year, the Lobster Harvest is "below" historical averages... OMG.. It must because the oceans are warming due to Global Warming, sound the Alarm.. (Yet, let's not consider that the two previous years, fisherman OVER-HARVESTED above demand levels.. Yet, when Lobster Harvests were almost non-existent 6 years ago because the Water was TOO COLD, no one said a word. No Alarms were sent off, etc. No one was warning of Global Warming when the Lobster Harvests were huge two years ago. Only when the data can be twisted to fit a given agenda does the "media circus" jump on. When someone does not join in, in the hysteria. They are labeled as "deniers" and they roll out the same old tired agrument of 99% of Scientist agree that Global Warming exists... Agian, I am not saying that Global Warming does not exist, or has existed in the past... I just don't subscribe to the Hysteria Hounds that love to sound the "Global Warming" warning sirens at each small aberration in everyday life .. i.e. Too many Hurricanes, Too few hurricanes, Too much Rain, Too Little Rain, Too Much Snow, Not enough Snow And so it goes, PCSTEL
