Scaremongering of the worst kind! Here are the facts that we should be given at a level the average citizen can understand:
What was the composition of atmospheric gases at the earliest possible time when it was measured?
Show the change in composition of atmospheric gases over time and the change in average temperature over time. Show the average temperature of the oceans over time because they are the global heat sink which are one very important factor regulating temperature.
Compare these changes with what is known about other climate changes in the earth's recent history.
It's irresponsible to churn up peoples' emotions this way. Clearly this is what these extremists are doing to move their agenda.
Their real agenda, IMHO, is growth and population control. There is certainly some limit to what the Earth can sustain, but the extremist predictions of the not-too-distant past have proven to be inaccurate and overblown.
People without scientific understanding... and there are plenty in this country, given the poor results in math and science in our schools... are easily manipulated by rash claims frequently following on the heels of natural disasters and damaging storms.
I submit that severe volcanic eruptions spewing sulfur and carbon based gases do more harm to the atmosphere than man's feeble influence.
