And you believe (because that evidence appears irrefutable to you, Bill D.) that the scientists that "will 'find' data that prove anything" could not possibly be those who have presented the Al Gore type evidence? Right?

I don't go along with those who believe doing something rather than nothing makes sense. The cost of making the changes required is entirely too high. If, on the other hand, a scientist or a group of scientists prevent irrefutable evidence that climate change is caused by human habitation (and they haven't yet because they are still "studying" the situation)and that the changes required are possible, THEN we should turn our attention to it. IMO too much credence is being paid to evidence that is still suspect to start making those changes now.
