Guest Old Fat Woody: Perhaps no one has posted that global warming does not exist, but this poster confesses to having doubts. At least I think it is questionable. It seems that there are many other reputable scientists who also question the evidence too.

The mainstream press (other than the Wall Street Journal) has kept the lid on the fact that one of the leading scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency, Alan Carlin, (who holds a degree in physics from CalTech)along with another colleague at the EPA presented a 98 page analysis to the agency recently arguing that the agency should take another look, as the science behind man-made global warming is inconclusive at best. The analysis noted that global temperatures were on a "downward trend". It pointed out problems with climate models. It highlighted new research that contradicts apocalyptic scenarios. "We believe our concerns and reservations are sufficiently important to warrant a serious review of the science by EPA", the report read. Carlin and the report were blown off by his superiors at the EPA, who in my opinion, are bent on charging full speed ahead probably because the research money from the federal government and private foundations would dry up if the global warming scare was proven to be a hoax. One that would exceed even the scandal generated by Bernie Madoff.

Anyone interested can Google the WSJ and read the whole column titled, "The EPA Silences a Climate Skeptic," in the Friday/Saturday/Sunday edition of the Wallstreet Journal (July 3 -5, 2009)by staff writer, Kimberley A. Strassel.

I Expect few here will do so.
