#1 NEWSMAX > Global Warming equals Socialism.

#2 Last Friday, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) -- an international group of scientists -- concluded that, to a 90 percent probability, human activity is warming the Earth. Earlier, Democratic congressional leaders made global warming legislation a top priority; and 10 big U.S. companies (including General Electric and DuPont) endorsed federal regulation.

Actually, no such thing happened. what was published was the SUMMARY of the Panel's findings, written not by the scientists, but by the POLITICIANS running the show, FOR the politicians running the world. It's not the Dummies Guide to Climate Change, since the Dummies books are written by experts with good writing skills and a desire to get the subject down right: Its a "book" written, not for the dummies but by the dummies.

The scientists have always complained that such summaries gloss over the uncertanties. The uncertanties are what the scientists use to argue for more funding. if there are no uncertanties, then their job is over: no more funding. Asshats bitten by asshats: gotta love the smell of fratricide...

A lot of facts point toward cycles in the sun's cosmic ray activity causing long term changes in climate.
