Why I’m a global warming skeptic.

and-still-i-persist.com — A career computer programmer and Y2K insider explains why there's reason to be skeptical. Interesting summary of an insider position on the issue of Y2K, and how the behavior of AGW believers parallel those who strongly feared doom from Y2K.

inboxnews, on 07/28/2008, -2/+8Conclusion:

As I said at the start, I fully believe that the climate was warming from 1850 up through about 1998; current indications are that global temperatures have leveled off or even declined slightly for the past decade. I am far less convinced that human production of CO2 and methane form any significant contribution to that warming trend and am even less convinced that — short of shutting down much of civilization and killing off a major portion of the world’s population — we could reduce those emissions sufficiently to have an impact. I’m still in favor of a clean environment, but frankly the US has done a tremendous job of reducing all forms of pollution since my childhood and appears to be ahead of the rest of the world in reducing ‘greenhouse’ emissions. I think the real burden is upon Russia, India, and China to clean up their acts.

I also find the evidence and logic in some of the other theories (most notably the 1500-year solar cycle) to be far more credible that that advanced by AGW proponents. And, of course, the predictions of rising sea levels advance by Gore et al. are simply ludicrous and, in fact, are directly contradicted by the current UN IPCC predictions.

Tugging, on 07/28/2008, -6/+5As a Christian I believe God is the Creator and Sustainer of this universe and that He
is control of what happens in this world. There are probably periods of warming and cooling in this world. What about all the years before man was able to measure and do whatever he does now? None of this is without His notice. The end is in His hand.
GWBARNHOUSE, on 07/29/2008, -2/+2I don't think I'm giving off a lot of CO2 but in any event I'm not giving up anything. Al Gore and his Frankenstein "scientists" would create a monster that would devour modern civilization. Gore is so invested in green companies that it obvious what his agenda is. When the GW bubble bursts I hope he looses his shirt and everything else.
- TYRONEBR549, on 07/29/2008, -3/+1Al Gore is a liar and a cheat. I live in Tennessee and we all know him for what he is. Why do you think that he lost the election in 2000? He lost by losing Tennessee. Our electoral votes were the difference in the election not Florida. Yes, Florida was contested, but even losing Florida he would have won if he had carried Tennessee.
  - Evilena, on 07/30/2008, -0/+3Someone else tried to tell me this one time. What is the point of saying he should have won a different state?
    
    I live in South Florida and we all know the 2000 election for what it was.

    Al Gore has been out of office and out of official politics for 8 years yet he has been involved in trying to help the US and the world with his environmental concerns.
    
    I don't expect to hear much from Bush after he leaves office unless he gets lost and can't find his way home to Crawford.
TYRONEBR549, on 07/29/2008, -2/+2Global warming is just a scare tactic used to get us all to submit to slavery one step at a time. The world has gotten hotter and cooler again and again over history. NASA has shown that the Sun is the reason for this. Mars is getting warmer too. Is man the culprit here as well? After all we only have two SUV's on Mars ( that they have told us about ) and they are solar powered. They could not have caused this as well. There has been over twenty ice ages that they know has happened. Is man the cause of them as well? Each ice age was preceded by a warming period. According to the ice core samples in Antarctica we are pass due for an ice age by two thousand years.
