Yes. I deny that we are in a state of peril unless we all send all our money to wall street to trade carbon credits and bogus nonsense like that.
And yes, the science is not settled. 30,000 scientists dispute the al gore memo that we are in imminient danger of Day after tommorow.
Funny too - if the "science" was so settled, why the need to lie, cover up, distort, and hide data like all these esteemed scientists did?

did you just link me to a republican website with propaganda? im not sure if you know who i am but i dont listen to biased sources and bullshit. Post the science for all to see its all published. Want some?
have you read the IPCC report on climate change, i have. Heres a nice little summary i found to make it nice and fast
Among the findings were:
* Eleven of the last twelve years (1995-2006) rank among the 12 warmest years in the instrumental record of global surface temperature (since 1850).
* Most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely (90%+ probability) due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations.
* The average temperature of the global ocean has increased to depths of at least 3000 m and that the ocean has been absorbing more than 80% of the heat added to the climate system. Such warming causes seawater to expand, contributing to sea level rise.
* Mountain glaciers and snow cover have declined on average in both hemispheres. Widespread decreases in glaciers and ice caps have contributed to sea level rise
* Global average sea level rose at an average rate of 1.8 mm per year over 1961 to 2003. The rate was faster over 1993 to 2003, about 3.1 mm per year.
* Average Arctic temperatures increased at almost twice the global average rate in the past 100 years.
* More intense and longer droughts have been observed over wider areas since the 1970s, particularly in the tropics and subtropics.
* Widespread changes in extreme temperatures have been observed over the last 50 years. Cold days, cold nights and frost have become less frequent, while hot days, hot nights, and heat waves have become more frequent
* The global atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide has increased from a pre-industrial value of about 280 ppm to 379 ppm in 2005. The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide in 2005 exceeds by far the natural range over the last 650,000 years (180 to 300 ppm) as determined from ice cores.
* The primary source of the increased atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide since the pre-industrial period results from fossil fuel use, with land use change providing another significant but smaller contribution. Annual fossil carbon dioxide emissions increased from an average of 23.5 Gt CO2 per year in the 1990s, to 26.4 Gt CO2 per year in 2000-2005.
* The global atmospheric concentration of methane has increased from a pre-industrial value of about 715 ppb to 1732 ppb in the early 1990s, and is 1774 ppb in 2005.
* The combined radiative forcing due to increases in carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide is +2.30 W/m2, and its rate of increase during the industrial era is very likely to have been unprecedented in more than 10,000 years.
The IPCC predicts that, based on a range of scenarios, by the end of the 21st century climate change will result in :
* A probable temperature rise between 1.8°C and 4°C, with a possible temperature rise between 1.1°C and 6.4°C.
* A sea level rise most likely to be 28-43cm
* Arctic summer sea ice disappearing in second half of century
* An increase in heatwaves being very likely
* A likely increase in tropical storm intensity.
This is based on all available science.
MOAR:
http://americasclimatechoices.org/climate_change_2008_final.pdfthe national academy of sciences presented this document and this conclusion. Read the document however.
"Most scientists agree that the warming in recent decades has been caused primarily by human activities that have increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere."
MAOR
http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12782"there is a strong, credible body of evidence, based on multiple lines of research, documenting that climate is changing and that these changes are in large part caused by human activities. While much remains to be learned, the core phenomenon, scientific questions, and hypotheses have been examined thoroughly and have stood firm in the face of serious scientific debate and careful evaluation of alternative explanations"
IT is only in america there is debate, guess whos leading the charge? republicans LMAO. GLobal warming is a fucking fact, the cause is still debatable.

You can be skeptical but saying is a sham is stupid and wrong, you are denying reality probably because it's the right thing for republicans to do. Science doesnt give a fuck about parties and any intelligent person can observe the data and come to the conclusion that something is wrong with the current climate change.
