This graph has been thoroughly discredited and, anyway, most IPCC scientist agree that the purported AGW theory does not rise or fall on it.

What she proposes is obviously meant for people not as enlightened as she is, rather like Gore preaching about carbon foot prints as he jets around the world and maintains a huge mansion. Now there is a word for that type of behavior and it begins with an H. The word of course is hilarious! Well thank you Rocky for bringing it up.

What the UN and major governments are proposing are drastic changes to our society, and these are not to be undertaken lightly. A debate is wholly appropriate on such major matters in a democratic society. As for the rest, I am not convinced that Co2 being a dangerous, toxic pollutant as recently declared by the EPA has or will "stand the test of time." I am not convinced that the skeptic's argument about the rate of change remaining constant before and after the Industrial Revolution has been sufficiently engaged or debunked. If they are right, we are about to make a major mistake. Brian,

That's like reading an introduction to Catholicism that starts with areas of disagreement with Protestants. Better, in my view, to read a good book that gives a comprehensive overview of how climate science has developed. Tim Flannery's The Weather Makers is a good start. Then hold up the arguments of the skeptics and see if they "debunk" human induced global warming. “I want to hear a climatologist who accepts the mainstream narrative debunk the skeptics case point by point in a way I can understand.”

You see we didn't have a debate before we signed the Montreal Protocol. Most people didn't know it happened. Nations just went ahead and took the recommendation of sound science and regulated the heck out of CFCs. Most current research has shown that if nations hadn't acted a decisively back then, we'd be in trouble today. It was a non- partisan issue back then and it should be that way today. Joe,
