Okay, that's me. Where have I said in this thread or the many others I've replied on E90 to that I'm against being not dependent on foreign oil and and against not having a clean(er) environment? I do believe global warning exists because it is a natural condition of the Earth. Humans are part of the Earth, so whatever affect they have on global warming is natural as well, just as cows, beavers, forest fires, algae, volcanoes, etc. In fact if it wasn't for global warming, humans wouldn't exist in the first place.
The problem is a bunch of scientists and politicians (who fund the scientists) think they know better than mother nature; they don't. The BS of the Politico/Science envrio-complex is what most of us "non-GW believers" are discussing and are against; we don't favor a dirtier environment and dependence on foreign oil (us USA-based guys at least...).
