And this is the problem with our current crop of self-proclaimed "climate" scientists.....of which there is really no such thing.  They are pre-disposed to want to prove anthropogenic ACC.  Some for benign reasons but most because of the desire for grants and not to be branded a "denier" (age old root sins of greed and vanity).  After all my reading and studying the subject I have come to believe that while man may have an influence on the climate, it pales in comparison to other, natural factors (sunspot activity, cloud cover, natural cycles, etc.).  And I further do not believe for a second all the prognostications of doom with warming. In fact, I am far more concerned about a cooling cycle and the impact it will have on growing crops, especially further north.  

But if there is better evidence based on unmanipulated data and the remedies don't do more harm than good I will certainly change my view.  But the theory that CO2 influences global climates is based almost entirely on models that have been proven fantastically wrong.  A normal, sane person would look at that failure and possibly rethink their position.  But not the zealots......for them no data, no argument, no evidence will be enough to sway them from their usual prescriptions of redistribution of wealth, more government control and a lowering of our standard of living.  And sadly, their solutions will do far more harm, especially to the poor and lower middle class, than any climate change ever would.  But it is their religion.
