Yours are exactly the cigarette industry's arguments. Where is the proof? Why
is it that ALL scientists except industry scientists and lobbyists say it's
happening? Yours are also the Rush Limbaugh arguments, look at the weather
here and look at the weather there. Weather keeps going, and it's going to
keep on going, even as the earth keeps getting warmer from human activities.
It's not going to turn on a dime, even if it's turning faster, much much faster
than predicted. Let's all wait for proof ...
