Archie, you and I are talking apples and oranges.  When I use the term globaloney I am talking about the whole package (ACC/AGW, carbon exchanges, taxes, wealth transfer to 3rd world countries, etc.).  If this were such a big issue in this country you would think people would actually care.....yet they don't and for good reason.  List of top 10 issues of concern to Americans from recent Gallup poll.  Don't see climate change?  

1. Economy

2. Education

3. Health Care

4. Social Security and Medicare

5. Poverty

6. National Defense

7. Crime

8. Taxes

9. Distribution of wealth

10. Energy policy

The closest globaloney comes is at number 12 when lumped into the category of environment, which covers a lot more than just the man-caused climate change hoax.

As for your 97% comment, let me explain so you will understand.  First of all, you do know that there is no such thing as a degree program for climatologists, right?  So people out there claiming to be one actually have a degree in some other science program like meteorology, physics, geology, geophysics, etc.  So what you basically have is a poll of people who have self proclaimed themselves to be climatologists.  And where do you think 99.9% of the funding to climatologists come from?  You guessed it, the study of man-made climate change.  Now if you poll a group of scientists that are being paid to study man-made climate change what percentage of them would you expect to think it is happening?  You are so naive when it comes to these things.

This is a hoax and the last 20 years with no warming while CO2 is being pumped out in exponentially greater quantities ought to be enough to give any person with half a brain, even if they were a true believer, the sense to acknowledge that before we do anything drastic that will lower the standard of living, especially for the poor, we ought to rethink this theory.  As I said, I am open to the possibility but think there is way too much scientific doubt to make any policy decisions.  You scientifically illiterate are being led around by the nose by hucksters like Algore, politicians looking for an excuse to raise taxes and whorish scientitsts looking for that next research grant.
