Good post, TIA.

I am in favour of reducing our industrial emissions, as I've said several times. Yes, we should make efforts to protect ourselves against rapid changes in the climate (either of warming or cooling phases). And BB has also been saying that.

What has mainly drawn me into this discussion is simply that I think the present common idea about "global warming" that has been dominating the airwaves for at least 10 years now is based on faulty premises. It's become a sort of secular religion with all the authority of the kind of unquestioning faith that you find in the most doctrinaire religions, and that worries me, because I think it's based on incorrect assumptions and bad science. It's simply the desire to know the real truth here that concerns me...not the desire to defend some kind of big industries that want to spew pollutants into the atmosphere.
