[debate] global warming is b/s? nice hatchet job

[Peter Jukes]

One antidote to the opposing conspiracy theories of 'Global Warming denial'
versus 'Global Warming Scam' would be to assess the scientific research,
don't you all think?

Ultimately, global warming itself must be a matter of record. The problem of
course is choosing the time span and slicing the data, but there are various
simple statistical.

As for the causality ('man made' against 'natural cycles'), that's a tricky
as actually finding the causation behind the correlation between smoking and
cancer.  Just because you only hypothesise doesn't mean you don't act on the
correlation.
