Planet in Peril..worthy topic of discussion

No, it is not the 'alternative' types, or the 'greens' who are being alarmists. Scientists such as NASA's James Hansen, the chief climate scientist of the Goddard Institute of Space studies, rang the bell even in the face of being muzzled by the White House/Bush administration. He was ordered to take information down from his website and was not given press access. Of course, can you keep that down? After it came to light that he considers the climate to be at a tipping point, he has had plenty to talk about and talk to. Read his interview with Time magazine.

One of the people who are vocal about the global warming notion being nonsense is the author Michael Crichton. In his book "state of fear" he negates the facts behind global warming which Hansen thinks ridiculous. People, he basically says, who are the most vocal behind this anti-global warming notion tends to have connection to the fossil fuel industry. Big surprise there. If we were to have a discussion amongst bloggers from other countries, I'd bring back up the lobby groups and their power. Back to the global warming.
