A handful eh?

30,000+ sceientists isnt exactly a handful. Maybe you should get your facts straight before you spew your global warming propeganda here. I am all for helping the environment. I want nuclear, wind, solar, and hydrogen fuel cell power to replace fossil fuels. I want CO2 scrubbers that will stop all this fuss over man made global warming.

Why do we not have these things? Because the stupid environmentalists that are supposedly for alternative energy and reductions in CO2, are against a lot of this.

They say that nuclear is far to dangerous, when a well made nuclear power plant is easily as safe as a coal or oil power plant. They wont let anybody make power lines so they can transport this power for electric cars, because its too ugly, or it will interfere with historical buildings. No wind turbines because the noise can affect people or supposedly kill birds.

This is what pisses me off the most. They are AGAINST CO2 SCRUBBERS... They say that using CO2 scrubbers LETS US USE FOSSIL FUELS.... I thought that CO2 was the thing that we were trying to limit. I guess the supposed CO2 caused global warming is less important than the fact that we are using fossil fuels.

I am sure that not all environmentalists are against these things, but just a small number seem to be able to hold off everyone else for some reason.

> "1. The Heartland Institute is a right wing attack group, funded by tobacco and oil"

Your link is from SourceWatch, a group that exists solely to discredit GW skeptics. The Heartland Institute is funded less than 5% from corporate donations, and it isn't even close to a "right wing" organization. It's actually Libertarian in goals.

> "The '30,000 scientists' are from the bullshit Oregon Petition which has been thoroughly debunked "

That "debunking" has in turn been debunked repeatedly. Yes, many of the signatories have degrees in engineering, economics and medicine. So? Many do not..and more than half of the IPCC's "thousands of scientists" have degrees in the same fields as well -- including the head of the IPCC himself. That never seems to worry those who believe their pronouncements.

Oh, and your wikipedia links, which ANYONE CAN EDIT, are really reliable? Look up your information on more reliable places than one where a 10 can be writing it.

Whoops, I meant a 10 year old, not a 10. Hehe.
