What is &quot;all the data&quot; that you&#039;re talking about?  What data points &quot;away from global warming&quot;?</description>

		<description>Be careful, you might cause Al Gore to lose his job!  I wish.  

Isn&#039;t it interesting that all the data points away from global warming or climate change or whatever we&#039;re calling it today and yet it doesn&#039;t get reported.  These people have to know they&#039;re wrong.  They just want the taxes and power that pushing this agenda will afford them.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;As the article points out, and we have seen previously, 2,500 scientists have resigned from the IPCC in protest.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Um...  actually, the article says that &quot;some&quot; of the 2,500 have resigned.  I&#039;ve heard of two or three, one whose complaints were unfounded, as the final report didn&#039;t contain the offending statements, and another who was upset about a statement on mosquitos.

&lt;blockquote&gt;And the 31,000 who signed the petition that says there is no convincing evidence that Man is to blame.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;ll never understand why you and others continue to trot out this completely debunked list.  This is filled with errors, and is definitely not a list of actual scientists, much less climate scientists.

&lt;blockquote&gt;While our emissions are increasing fast each year, satellite measurements show the world’s temperatures have still not risen above the 1998 record, and have actually fallen since 2002.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

There was also a big dip in the 60&#039;s, but guess what?  It went back up.  Only a politician and a blogger would draw the conclusion that we&#039;re headed for global cooling, based solely on temperature trends.

&lt;blockquote&gt;AGW took a legitimate occurrence, a warming period that had been going on since the 1850’s, part of a larger warming trend that has been going on for 18,000 years, and turned it into being Man’s fault.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This is a common misunderstanding among you deniers.  The reality is that you&#039;re putting the cart before the horse.  The theory of AGW was first proposed by Arrhenius far before there was any significant increase in temperatures.  We&#039;re only recently able to collect data and analyze it in order to test this theory.

Let me ask you this question:

Do you believe that greenhouse gases warm the planet?</description>
