re: Can we agree that Global Warming is a hoax.

Global warming in itself is of course real.

The earth has always gone through overall cooling and warming cycles. Whether or not it is caused by man is unprovable, due to the incredible age and size and constant climatic shifts of the earth, and the vastly differing techniques for measuring some sense of "overall" temperature in relation to time.

Thus, any clear data for man's cause can be argued against and "disproven." It's a constant cycle of scientific oneupmanship, because the whole issue is too big and our techniques are too small. The political nature of the matter and the fact that most research is government funded turns the whole thing into a scam. The idea that we should be basing public policy and taxation on it is lunacy. I think it touches on a larger issue of the deification of scientists. Scientists are only smarter, not better people. Believe me. In fact I would argue in certain ways they are worse.
