Thanx for the advice goose, as you can see the helmet came in handy.
I'm not a scientist, an expert on logic (although I realize my premises were held together by thread, if at all), but I am a fairly good salesman. There was already plenty of evidence on this thread about where most stood on the great 'global warming debate'. But I figured, hell let me throw something out there that will tingle the emotions and see what develops. I was hoping for a little better two sided response, and it may be too early to give up on that, but the responses given after my posts are so strong as to deter other opinions. I am not on any side about global warming, the busy little bees are not done constructing the hive on it yet. My opinion on the matter is much like this excerpt of gilsurf's post way back on the first page.....

whether one agrees with the issue of global warming and its roots in our society or not, a decrease in the production of 'greenhouse' gases is not a bad thing. Cleaner air, more efficient energy, less focus on fuel supply, etc. Even to a complete naysayer to science, the benefits are not all that bad.

I commend free thinking and the fact that we live in a country where it is tolerated. The most serious point that I could possibly make about the issue of global warming at this point, would be to always keep an open mind. Propaganda isn't just one sided. It doesn't just belong to the gov't, the 'greens', or any group the wants to express a voice. Data has, and always will, be presented in such a way as to form an opinion to whoever will listen and thus, sides are taken.
I will admit that I stuck my foot in this thread (or my mouth) but I got what I wanted. If you all look back on your posts, most of them were generated with a significant degree of emotion. Apologies for my 'hysteria' and the ruffling of feathers.
