There really isn’t a consensus regarding man made GLOBAL WARMING among the scientific community.  In fact, there are over 17,000 leading scientists who strongly disagree with the concept of man-made global warming.  Historical records inform us that the earth regularly experiences periods of warming and cooling.  The most accurate information shows that these periods are linked with the activity of our sun.  Greater solar activity results in warming trends and lesser activity results in cooling trends.  Many scientists now believe that we will be heading into a time of cooling.  So, before we pass any more legislation or allocate any more taxpayer dollars, perhaps we should get more accurate information and an objective look at the facts.
