Since Scottsdale is full of global warming nuts, enjoy. Thanks to the Orange County Register for this - by Mark Landsbaum:
Imagine if the U.S. government said we will put economic growth ahead of reducing CO2, and in the process contradicted the UN’s IPCC holy scripture that claims we’re supposed to be melting to hell in a handbasket because of SUVs.
Well, India’s pretty much done just that. The reason? Because India has studied the matter and concluded:
“No firm link between the documented changes described below and warming due to anthropogenic climate change has yet been established…”
Oops.
In fact, the report if full of stuff that must make Al Gore cringe.
The report says this about melting Himalayan glaciers: “The available monitoring data on Himalayan glaciers indicates while some recession of glaciers has occurred in some Himalayan regions in recent years, the trend is not consistent across the entire mountain chain. It is accordingly, too early to establish long-term trends or their causation, in respect of which there are several hypotheses.”
Oh course, the UN’s IPCC holy scripture says flatly: “The receding and thinning of Himalayan glaciers can be attributed primarily to the global warming due to increase in anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases.”
Oops.
The report also says India has zero plans to cut back energy use: “It is obvious that India needs to substantially increase its per capita energy consumption to provide a minimally acceptable level of wellbeing to its people.”
I say to the global warming nut jobs:
How naive and pompous of you to think that us humans would have even the slightest effect on our climate or this Earth we inhabit. This planet has existed for over 4 billion years... and our occupation has lasted for only a small fraction of that.
Our Earth has endured far worse things than the emittance of pollution we humans have emitted. Just recently (geologically speaking) in 1991, the eruption of mount Pinatubo ejected more than 5 billion cubic meters of ash into the atmosphere. This is more particulate matter than all automobile exhaust emissions since the invention of the automobile!!
Not even the extinction of the dinosaurs caused by the impact of a meteorite so massive that an entire epoch of species was obliterated from the planet was enough to "kill" mother Earth.
We humans are being spoon fed a bullshit scam of immense proportions by a group of people with not only an ulterior agenda but a complete lack of moral direction.
Wake up people and stop being sheep!

Matt, VERY well said. I may be starting a new site and HD podcast on iTunes soon to hopefully wake people up to this massive fraud. If so I'll shoot you the details so you can continue your commentary :)
It only takes a few minutes of research and rational thought to quickly dismiss the global warming myth, so I get so damn frustrated that people just sit back and believe everything the heavily biased media spoon-feeds them.
Why oh why are Americans turning into such ignorant idiots?
I read an interview the other day with the head of a company in India who commented that Indians have always looked up to Americans as their inspiration and role models, but now Indians are shocked and disappointed that their once-heroes are turning into a nation of sheep and whiners instead of a nation of leaders.
