Bugman, I forwent analysis on what GW said, because there was no opinion involved, as he just stated facts.
Do you disagree that the US has 4% of the world’s population, or that it burns 24% of the fossil fuel? Do you disagree that the 10 warmest years on record have all occurred since 1994, or the paleo-ice records that empirically show that at least one greenhouse gas - CO2 - is at the highest concentration in 500K yrs?
These are merely facts, published, peer-reviewed, and agreed upon by all the scientists in the world. Save the few cherry-picked deniers sought out by the companies that stand to lose near-term profits due to global warming. I choose to believe the vast, vast majority of scientists and scientific organizations rather than a few oil-industry funded nay-sayers.
As danger_uni (a scientist) said in another, similar thread “there is better concensus about this among scientists than any other comparitively complex topic in history”. If 2500 scientists from 130 different countries had a conference and agreed to say that there is at least a 90% chance that the dominant cause of global warming in the last 50 years has been caused by humans, why wouldn’t you believe them? You call that voodoo science?
Do you think that all 2500 of the scientists from 130 different countries are being paid off for their opinions by profit-motivated environmentalists? Do you really think they stand to gain something if they’re believed?
Edit: BTW, I think GeorgeWBush is BTM.
