Tempe High School Class of 1969 - Global Warming

Body:
Several classmates have mentioned global warming, being involved in helping to prevent it.  To me, this opens a door for an opposing opinion (nobody reads the Message Board anymore anyway, so what the hey).  Isn't this what we did in the late 60's, voice our opposing opinions and applaude each other for doing so?  Today, it seems like opinions that challenge popular beliefs are met with just as much opposition, only the sides have switched.  That said, here's a really interesting link with an equally interesting video in it.  I agree with the guy -- let's hear the science. http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/141_experts_challenge_the_un_prove_man_is_warming_the_world/ As an engineer, facts sway me, so here's another:  http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/11/25/climategate-hide-the-decline-codified/  Speaking of facts:  Here's another one:  http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/climategate_gore_falsifies_the_record  What I see happening is, like the scientist in the video says, the global warming argument (some say there's nothing to argue; it's fact) has left the tracks of sound science, and has become, instead, a political, emotional thing.  If someone has what they think might be cancer, and a doctor tells them, yes, they have cancer, they'd want to see the facts.  And often, they'd want a second opinion.  But with global warming, it's almost as if people WANT to believe the worst, and exclude all the second opinions.  If it really is that big a deal -- and clamping down on CO2 emissions will be a very big deal -- it seems like people would want to hear all the opinions.  But that's not happening. I remember back in the 60's hearing in school all about the evils of the state-run paper in Moscow, Pravda, how it suppressed any opposing opinions.  This is happening now in America, with the major news channels being complicite in pretty much withholding opposing opinions.  It's rare to hear any of them questioning the global warming advocates, asking for facts. My two, okay, three cents.  I'll probably be banned from the 50th. We'll probably all be burned to a crisp by then, anyway.
