Nicely done. Very much like the work of the Tobacco Institute. The people in charge know the truth, but they do all they can to delay the day of reckoning because there’s money to be made, you know.

As soon as a group has “Concerned” in their title, I suspect clueless Christianists.

OK, let’s check the facts. In the last 150 ish years the earth has warmed .7 Centigrade. OH MY the sky is falling.Come on, get real, we’re still receeding from the last ice age. This is natural warming/cooling cylces.

Oh, so when New York is underwater, you won’t mind? You seem to have missed the third hurdle: It’s being driven by human activity.
There was a recent meta-study into all the various papers that have been published regarding climate in the past 10 years.
Not a single one denied the conclusion that global warming is real and is being driven primarily by human activities.
Exactly what is it you would need to know in order for you to consider the possibility that you’re wrong?
