The Arrogance of Man...
I have always been a registered Independent and truly believe BOTH parties are to blame for our current problems. But in today's Times-Pic op-ed page, a guy named Friedman wants to create even more misery in an effort to control/contain Climate Change. I am not one of those who believe climate change is a "hoax". What I do believe is we have been in a warming cycle as the history of our Planet shows has happened many times before. What I don't agree to is that man (CO2) is the driver of climate change and we must do something to stop the warming. Mr. Friedman wants to "...raise the price of dirty fuel(tax)" to somehow create a demand for renewable energy(wind,solar). The problem with that is it would hurt the poorest the most while not bothering the "rich" at all. The poor struggle to put food on the table, gas in their car to get to work yet this fella wants to place more taxes on the very things that are necessities to staying alive. Who of you believe that putting a tax on carbon (gasoline tax), raising more money for government will do anything ...'to mitigate climate change?" Climate has always been changing and always will. When the Earth starts to cool again (some believe it already is), what are the alarmists going to do to stop climate from changing? Burn more wood, start forest fires?

In the news today, Nobel laureate Dr. Ivar Giaever resigned from the American Physical Society due to the APS insisting on taking the position that there is "incontrovertible evidence" that Global Warming is caused by the activities of man.
(Story here: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/09/14/nobel-prize-winning-physicist-resigns-from-top-physics-group-over-global/?test=latestnews )
Dr. Giaever states that "The word 'incontrovertible' ... is rarely used in science because by its very nature, science questions prevailing ideas. The observational data indicate a global surface warming of 0.74 °C (+/- 0.18 °C) since the late 19th century."
You tell 'em!!
To insist that all scientists accept a theory without question and without their own experiments and/or analysis of the data is VERY BAD SCIENCE!
