Yes, it's very real

I'm not sure why the second half of my article didn't post, but this is essentially where I left off in the first segment......

Back to the issue of global warming....... A really good place to start reading about this subject is on the Union of Concerned Scientists website Link

OK, and again, this is what should have posted the first time around................

These people, the Union of Concerned Scientists, are not politicians worried about getting elected. They're not concerned with protecting a particular industry. They are, as their title says, scientists who are concerned that industry and governments, particularly the Bush White Wash, I mean House, are trying to override science in order to protect industry and corporate profits. But, by skewing the science, the White Wash, I mean House, is jeopardizing thousands and millions of lives and dollars and of course environments. Mother Nature bats last.

I work with coastal scientists, coastal geologists and coastal geomorphologists, ecologists and biologists every day. I work with the US Army Corps of Engineers, because they are tasked with the coastal protection projects. I work with town planners, and local governments, and with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service, who are trying to deal with the development pressures, and the impacts to these fragile coastal ecosystems. I see the shoreline rapidly receding, and the only way to stabilize it is with money. Lots and lots of money. And, all these efforts are only temporary at best. Sea level is rising and Mother Nature bats last.

Thanks for an interesting article and link.

I would agree that there is no doubt about the earth warming up, how would you respond to doubts though about what the primary cause for this is. That is the real debate in scientific circles. The question as to whether manmade warming effects are greater than natural warming. Is this something we are definitely causing (the majority scientific opinion) or something that is hapening naturally with a small amount of human warming on top (minority scientific opinion)?
