I don't see how this undermines the theory. It does completely undermine CRU and the results that they have produced. It also shows that the people responsible for testing the theory are unorganized and are not staying true to the scientific method. It'd be nice to see an organized group do some actual research into this theory.
It's funny, I posted pretty much the same story in my "Rants" thread and got jumped all over for it and had my views called "simplistic"... Someone else posts it in a thread devoted entirley to this topic and nothing... I guess it's the price of being the opinionated "right wing nutjob" that I am. hehe
I guess this is one of those issues where I lean left. I would much rather error on the side of caution than ignore the evidence here. It's not like we can reboot or move to another planet if we screw this one up. This is our only home and IF we MIGHT be contributing to a natural warming cycle, OR causing all of the global warming by ourselves we need to put ourselves in check.

Yeah. I'm pretty much with you on that. Seems like most people are so absorbed in the now these days that they have completely ignored the fact that in the last 100 years we humans have changed the face of the earth exponentially more than the inhabitants of earth for the last several thousand years. We need to slow down a lot more than just carbon emissions.

I agree with you to a point. I agree we need to take care not to pollute and to recycle, and I try to do my part with both. I use energy efficient bulbs and apliances and try to contribute. But when legislation is passed that will hurt businesses and jobs in this country thats where I have a problem. The Congressional Budget Office stated that the Cap and Trade Bill would reduce the Global GDP by around 3%. Now that may not sound like much, but when the Global GDP is reduced by that much it has massive global impact and people from 3rd world contries die. That is where I have a problem with the global warming craze.
