The effects of greenhouse gases
In the 20s and 30s there was a popular pseudo science movement called eugenics. It was essentially racial profiling and had quite a following with pseudo scientists and celebrities of the day. Then after the Third Reich adopted many of the same principles, it became very unpopular. Most people have to look up the word today.
Greenhouse gasses fall into the same pseudo science realm. Many of the predictions are based on modeling programs that cannot tell me if it is going to snow two weeks from now and even have a hard time predicting if an entire season is going to be severe or light from a weather standpoint. Extrapolating those models to make dire predictions of doom and gloom should be treated like yelling fire in a crowded theatre.

The effects of greenhouse gases
Certainly there is a benefit to the government if people buy into the pseudo-science, both from a tax and control standpoint. It is much easier for a group of leaders to motivate a group of willing uninformed participants. A large percentage of new voters in the past election thought that the Republicans controlled the 110th Congress and wanted to "throw the bums out." Throwing the bums out (whether there is an R or D next to their name) might be a good idea in many cases if you know who the proper targets are.
I agree with the concept of minimal polution and environmental impact. But, this banner has been taken up by socialists that want to push a much stronger agenda that will cripple the US. I support new technologies that produce less polution. I use solar panels and have a hybrid car as well as my larger four wheel drive vehicles. Life is about balance, not extremes.
There is no question that we have seen some environmental extremes in the past decade. CO2 is also on the rise. But is the CO2 a cause or the effect of rising solar activity? Correlation is not the same as causation. If you shot 100 rabbits and they all died, are you making the case that increased lead level in their enviroment is leading to their decline? Some would.
