I'm saying that it's a minority view in the scientific community that
has been backed and supported by very real funding...money...access to
influence and power, that denies the validity of the points Gore has
been making, that has real substance and a most important message, not
just for America, but the planet's inhabitants. The best the right can
come up with are some people who name call and toss about epithets like
"liberal weenies" and "tree hugging enviro-nazis". I'm saying it is
them (and you, if you follow that ilk) who are naive...and responsible
for enabling this agenda in the name of profit...the real God of the
right wing.


You're diluting your initial stance that the scientific community is a
fraud. When you can't account for the data that they've presented, you
just resort to questioning its validity. By doing so, you show that
you're only interested in playing partisan politics and not interested
in the underlying science (or perhaps not equipped to discuss or even
understand it). In fact, from the look of your posts, it looks like
your bias overwhelms any trace of reason you may otherwise have. That's
not a healthy way to waddle through life, man.

You need to understand that there are two sides to every story, and
opponents of the one that you like aren't a bunch of corrupt scientists
fabricating data.

There are of course at least two sides to every issue. Going through life
believing those two sides are your side and the wrong side is what folks
like you do so well. There is no true dialogue or examination of the
actual facts, simply filter that which doesn't fit your agenda. Then when
all else fails...insult and smear. Call names. Demean those who disagree
and marginalize them.

You sit there and say you aren't playing partisan politics? That your
viewpoint is the undisputed truth? I'm no expert, but I have read enough
from both sides of this issue to have arrived at my own conclusion. I'm
open to having my opinion changed by actual fact. I'm not silly enough to
not understand that even scientists get paid too...that doesn't mean they
are all lying but as in any complex court case, both sides will produce
their own, very well practiced proponents for each party. Furthermore, if
you truly believe partisan politics doesn't enter into most everything,
then you my friend are the one waddling through life being led around by
your nose. That's as unhealthy as what we are doing to this planet. Open
your eyes and stop relying only on Fox for your news and information.


Fox news has gone left - theres no difference between it and the other
alphabet news orgs.
