Re: But does GP miss the point?
I for one believe we have a responsibility to be 'good stewards' of the planet, but the amount of suspect science and unbridled emotionalism that has surfaced regarding the supposed 'green house' effect tells me that GP may miss the point in far more ways than one (ok - granted they do get some things right):

I guess my most pressing concern is the claim raised by environmentalists that the increase in C02 has pulled up temperatures when all data to date seems to point the to the exact contrary. Don't get me wrong - I wanna believe that we can make a difference in terms of protecting the environment by improving the way we live our everyday lives, but I just don't want those efforts to be futile by means of 'misleading' science. Who' right? Anyone got any balanced info on this?
