Some prominent Climatologists who subscribe to the theory of man-made global warming want the University of Wisconsin to consider revoking Patrick Michaels' Doctorate, according to leaked emails uncovered as part of the brewing 'climategate' scandal.
India just annouced it's 2020 target to reduce emissions by 20-25%. You don't even have to believe in Global Warming to understand that being PRO POLUTION is just plain ignorant. Also China announced a 40-45 percent cut in its emissions by 2020 compared to 2005. We need to start leading in this world again. Not buisiness as usual, that's how the voters spoke to elect Obama in the first place. A rejection of the bush policies and ideaology. Sorry Charlie Sykes....

Can someone, looking toward you Michael, tell me what the difference is between these Climatologists and say Enron/Bernie Madooff? They are all cooking the books for their own gain right?
What you don't seem to get is that people who question the magnitude or validity of the extremists is that we are not pro-pollution. The scientists I associate with agree that doing nothing while more research is ongoing is not an acceptable answer. However, crippling our economy on possibly flawed research is even more ridiculous. And since you're so hung up on credentials, I have 30 years experience in all facets of meteorology, so get a clue what we really object to. Then learn to spell.

I'm running out of names for these liberal talking point idiots... How about "Michael Moore-on" for Michael..? I like it. He probably won't be around long though. Seems these doufus textbook reading Lord BO/ (D) sycophants have new monikers daily…
Pretty funny... You have 30 years of experience in meteorology. That explains everything... What does that have to do with the real experts on Global Warming.

It's really amazing to me that people who want to continue to polute and not care about green house gases, just repeat what the right tells them.. It will cost too much, it will damage our economy, it will... etc... etc... Look how fast GM came up with 30 MPG cars when they needed to.

Oh by the way Rick Wagner does not believe in global warming either. Because of his close minded ideology, he cost all of the tax payers while they try to save an industry. He took in millions and didn't plan anything for the future of GM. Now we all pay for his ignorance. Get a clue. Wake up. These are simple issues. The buggy whip companies never thought the car would replace the horse and buggy either. History is what makes you people look ignorant. Ignore facts and see what happens.

Michael, GM has had 30 MPG cars for years. The problem is they were crap, and no one wanted to buy them. Add to that GM's poor customer service, and it killed the company.
Michael seems in a panic to reassure the faithful the temple still stands, even though the foundations are crumbling and the high priests have been exposed as charlatans. Speaking of the false prophets of Gaia, apparently Al Gore has decided to pass on saying the Mass at Copenhagen due to "unforseen changes in schedule". You can't make this stuff up. Or maybe you can.

Michael, sorry to burst your bubble here, but India has not and will not sign anything that has to do with co2 reduction. The only way they will do anything about their emissions is if there is funding available. In other words, they aren't going to kneecap their economy the way the left in this wants us to. And it may be all well and good to be an example to the rest of the world, but we shouldn't put ourselves in the poor house. http://www.reuters.com/article/hotStocksNews/idUSDEB0030972009120
Mikey, you protesteth too much. The sign of a lib who has no defense and no ideas is to spew hatred. You illustrate it well.

Not to mention it appears the the scientists are in the pockets of Big Grant Money.

The other argument that has always boggled my mind is the, "Well, at least the left is trying SOMETHING." What sense is there trying anything if it will not work, even if you seriously think it might. I might seriosly believe that chopping off my leg will help with global warming, that doesn't make it a good idea. We should try to reduce the amount of pollution we put out, but only if the methods for soing so make ecologic and economic sense.
DDT will kill you.
The coming ice age will kill you.
Microwaves will kill you.
High power lines will kill you.
Computer Monitors will kill you.
Cell Phones will kill you.
Global warming will kill you.
What's the next one? Maybe we will revisit the spanking issue?
Dear Michael has either bought into or is dishonestly peddling the lie that CO2 equates to "pollution". We're all against pollution, right? So if you don't want to limit CO2, you don't want to control "greenhouse gases", and are therefore pro-pollution and probably also like to club baby seals.

That has been my problem with the “sky is falling” climatologist for decades now.

Every other prediction is usually wrong, and these guys think they know what the weather was 1,000 years before the thermometer was invented.
My best friend and roommate in College was a Biology major. She went on to get her doctorate in Environmental Science and is now consulting for several companies.
