Since there is no real scientific proof and their is NO actual consensus about global warming, it is time to kknock off the bs. Put a clamp on the thrid world countries fror burning off to forests to creat farm land . Put a clamp on China and India for gross pollution of the environment.
Anonomous: Your right about China and India being "gross polluters", but the 'States is still the leader in per capita pollution. Also, there IS a consensus among climatologists who believe that there is a warming trend of anthroponic causes. The nay-sayers are growing but are still out-numbered.

�Solar activity a greater climate change driver than man
�'0.1 per cent of carbon dioxide due to human activity'
MANKIND is naive to think it can influence climate change, according to a prize-winning Australian geologist.
Solar activity is a greater driver of climate change than man-made carbon dioxide, argues Ian Plimer, Professor of Mining Geology at the University of Adelaide and winner of several notable science prizes.
�When meteorologists can change the weather then we can start to think about humans changing climate,� Prof Plimer said.
�I think we really are a little bit naive to think we can change astronomical and solar processes.�
