I think the reason that people point out that climate change is not the cause of this drought or that heat wave is because proponents of anthropogenic causes of global warming use each of these events as "proof" and "a reason for alarm", etc. etc. When you say most scientists believe that we are seriously impacting the climate that only proves my point that we need to be vigilant and point out the facts. Do you realize that more than 50% of climatologists that are members of the American Meteorilogocal Society do not believe that man is having a significant impact on global climates? Did you know that of the 2,500 "scientists" that signed the IPCC report on climate change that the vast majority aren't in fact experts on the climate and the majority aren't even scientists? There are a large number of prominent climatoligists, geologists, geophsicists (of which I am one) and other scientists that are skeptical of the impact of man on climate change. But you never hear about this because it doesnt fit the template of the mass media. I don't blame you or any other person not schooled in this area that has to rely on the media.

So my suggestion is that when you indicate you are reconsidering the whole global warming issue because of a drought in the southeast I want to be add a different perspective. Let me suggest a book that you might want to read. It is called "Cool It" by Bjorn Lomborg. He by the way does believe man is having an impact on the climate but not to the degree of others and he more rightly points out the folly in the current debate. Its a short book. Read it and send me a note and let me know what you think. Cheers!
