>"scientifically supported"!?!? My ass! Computer models are the only thing that "climate scientists" have to work with. They have to hard-code certain assumptions, which they set in order to produce their own worst-case scenario to generate headlines, publicity, and more funding. The scientists do not release their climate model code as open-source projects so it can be peer-reviewed by programmers; and their mindless, willing sycophants in the press report computer models as imminent events. The IPCC report is riddled with claims of horrible near-term consequences that simply have not occurred, and the U.N. then edits that report to remove the incorrect assertions (for example: Glaciers will be totally melted in the Himalayas; There will be 500,000,000 refugees due to global warming). Hell, they have to change their own terminology from "global warming" to "climate change" because the majority of people simply do not buy it.
Pro-AGW-Theorists have been claiming for decades that if we didn't do something "right now" then it would be too late. Well, they have been saying it for so long that if they are right then we are past the point of no return.
Every time this topic is brought up on /. I see a group of usually rational skeptics become the suckers that swallow this garbage theory hook-line-and-sinker.
