Empirical Evidence v. GWT

Well, the evidence is in.

"We now have data showing that from 2000 to 2007, greenhouse gas emissions increased far more rapidly than we expected, primarily because developing countries, like China and India, saw a huge surge in electric power generation, almost all of it based on coal," Field said --Reuters

Despite which, global temps have been cooling since 1998.

This is all money and agenda driven. The government funds AGW research. If it doesn't exist, there's no more funding ("No bucks, no Buck Rogers"). Don't let the facts get in the way of a good crisis.
