What makes you say that the data to support global warming is “suspect”?

~99% of all scientific documents support the idea of global warming and in “all” cases co2 and other greenhouse gases are understood as the reason.

~50% of all political documents (including news and other types of mass media) does NOT (or rather did not*) believe in global warming or at least not that it is caused by humans.

* I say did not since it seems like mass media has started to understand that it’s true now when mr Bush (and his supporting companies) isn’t denying it any more (now he’s just not doing anything about it even though he has confirmed that it’s a fact).

Are you saying that you believe more in political arguments than in scientific reports - or why are you saying it’s suspect?

However - I do agree that there are many other pollutants that the current government (and many of the previous governments) have done their best to ignore. US lags far behind the rest of the developed world when it comes to regulating extremely dangerous chemicals (in childrens toys and many other day to day items).

It is pretty obvious that the earth is warming but we really don't know the main cause. I think we would all be better served if we focus on eliminating pollutants in our air and water that are proven to harm humans and the environment like carbon monoxide, mercury or lead. If we reduce these real pollutants then we will probably also have a positive impact on reducing greenhouse gases. -Brad Harry,
