Global Warming?

There's a petition out that's been signed by over 31,000 scientists, including over 9,000 with PhD's, denying that "global warming" is caused by manmade greenhouse gases.

I'd be interested to see Al Gore's response. Maybe he'll sign it too in order to not feel guilty about his house, the one that used twice as much electricity one month than the average household uses in an entire year. (Check it out.)

Here's the text though for anyone who is interested:

"We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limit on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.

There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the earth's atmosphere and disruption of the earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial upon the natural plant and animal environments of the earth."

The implications of this are big. This many scientists, going against mainstream thought, will cause tidal waves of ripple effects. Stay tuned...
