[Gasification] UK Documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle

[Michael Redler]

Dear Tom,

First: Who's "we"? On who's behalf are you speaking?

Second: It was your emotional response to which I took exception 
(remember the "Ouija board" nonsense?).

Third: Are you really having trouble finding information?

Here's some:

"Most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the
mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in 
anthropogenic
greenhouse gas concentrations."

"Human activities ... are modifying the concentration of atmospheric
constituents ... that absorb or scatter radiant energy. Most of the
observed warming over the last 50 years is likely to have been due to
the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations."
 
"This conclusion is endorsed by the National Academy of Sciences,
The American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union
and its parent organization, the American Institute of Physics,
the national science academies of the G8 nations, Brazil, China,
and India. and the American Association for the Advancement of Science."
