Sheesh and you have the temerity to talk about the big corporate
bucks. The Pew Charitable Trust is not some small potatoes
organization.
As for orbital decay...I thought that was what the Global Warming
Advocates used to claim that there WAS global warming, but that
orbital decay was hiding it. Now of course the correction can't be
determined. Good Lord.
As for the poll of Texans...so what they don't know what they are
talking about. Anthropgenic greenhouse gases are a very very small
part of the greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere.
