My My you are testy. I hear that about religous types. You question their religion and they get all defensive and get into attack mode. Everyone is stupid, they are above question.

I'm not mad, I just have little or no respect for anything you've said because you prefer pop culture over actual science.

Al Gore, newsweek and the UN are irrelevant. What matters is what the scientific community are saying. And if the worldwide scientific community happen to use the UN to communicate to the world it may be a political blunder but so what. The IPCC != the UN. It's an entirely different group of people. Newsweek has a very poor track record of reporting the science correctly.

If there is anything I hold in high regard it is the American Geophysical Union, Goddard, and assessment reports from the national academies.

If any side of this debate brings up the "UN", "Newsweek" or "hypocritical Al Gore" then they are just displaying their ignorance and practicing demagoguery. What any of those entities say is irrelevant. Your preference of referencing pop-culture (newsweek, cooling, UN, etc) over actual scientific reports to debunk the scientific community says mountains about your mentality and educational background.

Reference a journal and we can talk. Reference Al Gore or Newsweek and you are a waste of time.
