I happened across this interesting blog posted by what I assume is by some ABC weather man. Seems that there has been a call to revoke the AMS certification of those that don't fall into line with the "global warming" crowd. That in its self is not that far fetched, many people will try to use strong arm tactics to get their point across. What I found interesting was this guys response and reply.....
"...Billions of dollars of grant money is flowing into the pockets of those on the man-made global warming bandwagon. No man-made global warming, the money dries up. This is big money, make no mistake about it. Always follow the money trail and it tells a story. Even the lady at “The Weather Channel” probably gets paid good money for a prime time show on climate change. No man-made global warming, no show, and no salary. Nothing wrong with making money at all, but when money becomes the motivation for a scientific conclusion, then we have a problem. For many, global warming is a big cash grab."
The whole story can be read here .
Personally, I do think that it might be getting warmer. Heck, back when I was just a wee lad, I can remember that it usually started snowing in December and didn't stop until March. So yes, there has been a shift in the weather. I started getting warm in April and stayed that way until early October. Now, it warms up in May and gets cold in December. Seems everything has just shifted a bit. I can live with that. The older I get, the more I dislike the cold weather.
What I don't understand is why everyone seems to think that a shift in the climate is all man-made. Although I haven't pondered on it a lot, I do seem to remember learning about many ice ages, warming ages, again more ice ages and finaly, a nice warm one that we are in right now. This has been going on since the formation of the earth. Who's fault was it back then? Why do we all the sudden think that we can control it? Sure we are affecting it, but that is unavoidable. The only was that we could truly not contribute to the effects of green house gases would be to kill everyone one off....period.

Actually, most of us are not saying it is strictly man made. There is always been cooling and warming periods on earth and we are no warming trend now. But the warming is much quicker than it was during the last trend. Then you look at what has changed in the mean time, one of the marked things is industrialization, deforrestration. And then it seems logical to infer that these might be acting as accelrants for warming.
What I dont understand is why do most people not want to change, even if the chance (that this is man made) is slight? Don't you listen to your doctor's advice in curbing cholestrol if heart disease lies in your family history? So why not take this as an incentive to better earth? It is not going to be harmful either way, right? Or is bettering ourselves and cherishing (what we have left of) this planet, not a nice deed to do?
