The theory that "evil polluters" are running a propaganda campaign with big money to discredit global warming----oops----"global climate change" is a false one. Indeed, the global tax scheme bothers them not a bit, as it won't cost them a dime.
Here is how it works, for any who care to look it up:
Everything will have either a "carbon debt" or "carbon credit" attached to it. Every company will have a carbon cap limit. Any person or item or company who exceeds their allotment will have to purchase extra credits-----from "Blood and Gore" (google the company, the name was changed, though I rather like the original)
The extra cost is not borne by the originator, but passed on to the end user.
Now, the other side.
Suppose you just happen to own a couple thousand forested acres in Paraguay. (Any names happen to come up?) Each tree in that forest fixes a supposed amount of carbon per year. That property owner gets a large amount of carbon credits to sell every year, while doing nothing but sitting on the veranda of his mansion slamming mint juleps.
In closing, honest science is done openly, with scrutiny and data open to review. Any who attempt to hide the data and refuse independent analysis are not doing science, they are following an agenda.
As a "scientist", you know this last to be factual.

Firstly, let me explain my position. I am pretty much on the fence with global warming. I don't understand the science behind it, and have always been pretty skeptical of global warming. I am friends with many scientists who do believe, including one leading researcher and have had some pretty interesting arguments with them for and against.
However, I would *like* to have clear evidence for global warming presented to me. The oil companies are probably the most well-documented evil companies in the world, and their propaganda machine is second to none. Our dependence on oil is a huge problem. I struggle to understand why anyone would be anti-global warming from a philosophical standpoint - you are basically supporting the evil empire itself. I can't seem to think of a single reason why we would like to believe in the oil companies instead of the environmentalists; environmentalists are demonstratably the lesser of two evils in all cases I can think of.
Please enlighten me. Why do you not believe in global warming?

not true.
the earth is warming over a long term cycle, just not man made... i have posted a small amount of data in the form of line charts in my previous post...
other than that, yeah. MMGW is a scam

Thats funny all three of us see this from an angle -
I think C&T is a scam, but I believe Earth is an organism of sorts and I believe human
activity is toxic to the Earth. That being said, it would make sense that a larger organism would make itself inhospitable to a detrimental microbe. It is my opinion that we are too small and stupid to make the connection.
I am fortunate that I can be introspective and think outside of the box, I only wish so many were not in denial.
Ironic you mentioned magic - to perceive something new as magic is what has always marked the old school when presented with the future. Further more, a virus is not aware enough to understand that its processes might create its own utter destruction
by killing its host and its eco system.
Of corse this all leads to the complete denial of any human impact upon the Earth, to protect business under a deep pile of excuses... I am sure the hundreds of species that go extinct every week have nothing to do with human activity C&T or not - seems the goal is to burry the old head way up there.

As an "honest scientist", what would be your honest peer review to a theory that in real world statistical analysis, produced the opposite results of the thesis?
If you happened to read not just the e-mails, (which are a small part of the UEA files) but the REM's of the program coders ( a very large part of the leaked files), you would have to come to the obvious conclusion that the data used for supporting the theory of global climate change was purposefully biased, with knowledge that the input parameters were designed and modified to produce the desired result.
History shows several attempts to make mankind a villain and earth killer who's only redemption is to pay money for his sins. You should read "Eco Science", co authored by our very own J.P. Holdren---"science czar" to the white house. The certain fact of earth's demise at the hand of mankind, and the ecological disasters decimating life on the planet are loudly proclaimed.
But------- Because the prevailing theory only a couple decades ago was that the planet was entering an ice age, and particulate emissions were blocking the suns energy from reaching the surface, the money scam to heal mother earth was a different one.

In the original post the OP mentions he doesn't understand the science behind GW.
Several posts later he admits to being a scientist.
I find it highly questionable that someone of a scientific background wouldn't have at least a rudimentary idea of the science behind the argument for global warming (whether one agrees with the science/argument or not)
He then curiously phrases his OP as 'Please explain anti-global warming to me'
Surely, a more reasonable question (considering his self-admitted ignorance of GW) would be 'Please explain global warming to me' ... How can you want the case AGAINST something explained to you if, as he states, he doesn't understand the case FOR that something.
Just thought I'd point it out
