The refusals I'm reading here to even conditionally agree that climate change is caused by human activity are obviously not based on any kind of credible scientific evidence. It's the same kind of ugly, dishonest, self-serving politics that got us into a disastrous 3 trillion dollar war with a country that wasn't any threat to us. It's too bad that there wasn't the kind of soberly reasoned skepticism about Iraq's WMDs and ties to AQ back in 03 that's now being served up about a phenomenon that's a threat to billions of people and that's agreed upon by 98% of the climatologists and geophysicists on the planet.
