Why do Liberals INSIST on Global Warming?

You've been tagged. Go to my site to see what this means.

In my opinion you've got it right,

it's not so much that Global Warming itself is the cause, it's just that it's a means to further their principal ends, i.e. big government socialism, etc., as you've pointed out. That's why the truth doesn't matter, because they aren't fundamentally interested in GW itself but in using it as a vehicle.

Global Warming - fact or fiction

We have all read reports from scientific community, some that say methane emmission from cattle is the biggest cause, some say human influence, and some say it is all part of natural cycle with human influence being much smaller than touted.
Do we have a consensus from scientific community on wine drinking in moderation being good or not good to us, atkins diet, south beach, 8 hour sleep, seista being good for us, and a whole host of other topics. Point being just like human themselves, scientists are not all rational beings and the question happens to be a little more complicated than how many inches are there in a feet.
Having read several different accounts on the topic, my reading is that there are many major forces in play, larger than what we as human could influence. To the extent CO2 emmissions have an influence on temperatures, both cattle and human are also factors in the equation, though, noone has been able to estimate whether it is 0.1 % or 2% or 10%.
My reading is that it is more than zero percent.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I have never read anything by Crichton [trivia- he is the tallest person, at 6'7" I believe, to have written a best seller] though I have read about this particular one because of its topic.

I was planning on picking up a novel in this next week- I will look for this one.
