I didn't say global warming has caused anything, ever.
Coward.
If it hasn't caused anything then why care about it at all?
Perhaps because what this represents, in the larger cxontext, is an attack on rationality on science itself. It can't help but be noticed that a lot of the most fervent criticism of AGW comes from the US--by far the most Chirstian country in the First Wolrd--and that many of its most ardent opponents are right-wing Christians. People who think that ideology should trump science.
In many ways this debate is similar, but lesser, to the Intelligent Design issues of a couple of years ago. Maybe the Christians have spotted a winner with AGW--a much more complex issue that doesn't have the hundred-odd years of success that Darwinism has had.
If you look at a lot of the criticism of anthropogenic global warming here, it isn't based on rationality. The opposition is rarely scientific. Indeed, when confronted by science, the opponents tend to print ridiculous posts about hockey pucks, make assertions about the size of Al Gore's house or print ridiculous claims like some of yours.
In fact, most of the campaign against climate change is a complete end-run around the science in a cynical media campaign dedicated to using rhetorical, as opposed to rational, tools to influence people on the issue. It's a campaign designed to spread ignorance; to deceive, to inveigle, to obfuscate.
That's why I care about it.
