Not all that surprising - in fact, it's an old story. As far as consensus
goes, wasn't that proven a lie as soon as they described the process of
putting together the IPCC report (small groups of political appointees
writing whole, unreviewed sections)? Wasn't the reports credibility further
questioned by their approval of the proven "hockey stick" lie?

There's a couple of good anti-global warming documentaries out. One has
several of the scientists listed on the report. At least one of those
scientist successfully sued to have his name removed from the report. If you
compare the quality of substantive arguments between Al Gore's mocumentary
and these, I can't help but believe you'll be much more impressed with the
anti-warming side.

The CO2 leading/following argument, for instance, has been around for a VERY
long time - before any of this hysteria even - and in my mind puts the nail
in the coffin of the man-made-global-warming conspiracy.

Besides, shouldn't you always start such discussions by questioning the
"accepted belief"? And shouldn't one of your first queries be, "who's going
to benefit monetarily by this?" Al Gore in cahoots with at least one carbon
tax credit plan...

See you in the next little ice age (which is where we're much more likely to
be headed)!
