What research have you done in regards to naturally occuring GW?
Or is it only what you have heard in the media, correct? Or what conservative members of Congress say (members, who's campaigns were funded greatly by these very same industries)?
The fact is that doubt is EXACTLY what the API is looking for. They don't have any studies saying global warming ISN'T taking place. What they are doing is basically making things up and putting this into the press to make people like you doubt it.
It doesn't make you say 'hmmm?' when you hear that the 'scientists' that say it isn't happening or is happening naturally work for places funded by the oil/auto/coal industries?
THAT'S what I mean when I say people are gullible. They take what they hear on talk radio or Bill O'Reilly and swear it as true instead of doing the research themselves. |
