I totally disagree with that based on what I believe and know to be true. Most scientists that are against it will not come out for fear of the repercussions. The arguments I have heard against global warming seem more logical to me than the ones supporting it.
I'm not so sure about big oil either. There is a limited supply of oil remaining on this planet. The higher the cost of this limited resource the higher the profits (and tax revenues collected) are for big oil (and government). As the global warming movement influences peoples minds and governments actions the higher the price of fossil fuels rise. That is an advantage for "Big Oil".
The demand for oil, the environmental impacts, and the geopolitical issues have been at the forefront of the world for over a century now. What has been done? Almost nothing?

Now this we do agree on with the exception of mankind trying to destroy the earth. I don't buy into beliefs like that. We are part of this planet and in the scope of history are nothing but a speck of dust. We will never come close to doing anything to this planet that thousands of geological occurrences have done.
We agree that reducing our use and dependance on fossil fuels would be good for mankind. That's another problem with the global warming concept. It polarizes people and puts them in one of two camp, pro or con, each side screaming how crazy the other side it. Our air, water, and soil has thousands of times the amount of dangerous and damaging chemicals than it should have. I work in industry and energy and have seen some scary things with my own eyes. I also see a ridiculous amount of energy wasted. Even those big companies that promote the "we're green" garbage are hypocritical monsters.
I've brought up thermal solar on many other threads in the past and gotten in many heated debates. Heating our homes and water is the number one use of energy on a residential basis. A couple grand in thermal panels have a payback of only a few years but no one has them. People put photovoltaics on their roofs which cost more energy to make and ship than they will produce in a few years and the paybacks are in decades, not years. Yet because they are "cool" it's a huge thing. I won't even get started on wind power.
My point is there are so many things we can do to reduce energy consumption beginning with conservation yet people talk, yell, and scream but nothing gets done. Then we have the greenie libs in states like mine who have 4000 square foot homes and 2 suvs in the driveway with Obama and go green bumper stickers on them. Sorry, stuck on a rant...
Probably shouldn't hit submit but the people on this thread are smart and enjoyable to discuss, not debate, this stuff with...
