I think to dismiss it outright is another fallacy. There is some evidence that the tons of CO2 we put into the air each second has to have an affect. This is also a neocon talking point that has to be looked at with a lot of skeptisism in the first place because of the Republican agenda of giving every thing the big corps want and being bought and paid for by big business. We are in two wars one based on neocon lies and we should have had much more of a critique of Bush and his WMDs in Iraq than we all did. If Backman says it I have to take five steps back and say wait a min. she is as insane as anyone in Belview. There may be some skewing of the rate of GW or how far it can damage things, but it would be a fools idea to think that the world can burn millions of bbls of oil a day and tons of coal and other garbage pumped into the air and think it has no affect.
Further how many times have big corps published their own reports and to this day say smoking has not been linked to any lung cancer? Or that pumping some crap into the ground has no link to the increased cancer rate of children or lukemia deaths that have increased in their area? Corporations would cut your mother open if they thought she swollawed a penny and not think twice. So when people and ideas backed by these neocon idiots come out against an idea or thesis that may hurt thier bottom line I will hold judgment and take their backed reports with the little respect they deserve.
American has become a country of bowing down to the alter of money and how much I can get even if it screws some little guy. It is government regulation that is needed and what Bush set aside that allowed the banks to do what they did that brought us to our knees and after all that we still have no comprehensive health care, the big insurance compnays bought off the republicans to be the party NO, we have no regulation not one new reg. on the banking industry or wall street the two that brought us the almost collapse of our whole economy. But the neocons insist everything is fine and we just need to deregulate more.
So when the Neocons tell us that there is no global warming I have to think they have several dogs in this fight and every reason or $ paid to them by big business so why should I believe a thing they say? The short answer is I shoud not. ClusterFox noise has been a shrill for the big bisuness for sometime and have been one sided in their coverage. When they fight even the smallest thing like wind energy or electric cars or any common sense conservation and instead have "drill baby drill" as their solution to our energy situation I have to think who is backing them? big oil and so their ideas have to be suspect.
