|  Leaked Climate Change data might prove there isn't such thing.
What if human activites are not causing climate change? 
Any RS member interested in viewing the data could get it from the internet. Quote:
Hundreds of private e-mails and documents hacked from a computer server at a British university are causing a stir among global warming skeptics, who say they show that climate scientists conspired to overstate the case for a human influence on climate change.
The e-mails, attributed to prominent American and British climate researchers, include discussions of scientific data and whether it should be released, exchanges about how best to combat the arguments of skeptics, and casual comments--in some cases derisive--about specific people known for their skeptical views. Drafts of scientific papers and a photo collage that portrays climate skeptics on an ice floe were also among the hacked data, some of which dates back 13 years.
| Quote:
At first, said Michaels, the climatologist who has faulted some of the science undergirding the global-warming consensus, his instinct was to ignore the correspondence as "just the way scientists talk."
But on Friday, he said, after reading more deeply, he felt that some exchanges reflected a concerted effort to block the release of data for independent review.
He said that some e-mails mused about a way to discredit him by challenging the veracity of his doctoral dissertation at the University of Wisconsin by claiming he knew his research was wrong.
| Quote:
In a 1999 e-mail exchange about charts showing climate patterns over the last two millennia, Phil Jones, a longtime climate researcher at the East Anglia Climate Research Unit, said he had used a "trick" employed by another scientist, Michael Mann, to "hide a decline" in temperatures.
Mann, a professor at Pennsylvania State, confirmed in an interview that the e-mail was real. He said the choice of words by his colleague was poor but noted that scientists often use the word "trick" to refer to a good way to solve a problem, "and not something secret." "It sounds incriminating, but when you look at what you're talking about, there's nothing there," Mann said.

I put a thread up before with a bad title (thought it was a crazy world govt conspiracy video at first due to a snippet)
but this guy who's a viscount goes around refuting climate change arguments, even got the UK Govt. to make changes to Al Gore's movie if its shown in school
here's a lecture he did in the states http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stij8sUybx0 | |

Well duh
Only an idiot thinks that Global Warming is a certainty, and if it exists, is certainly caused by humans.

regardless of whether climate change is true or not, i think we should still do preventative measures anyways...we are quite wasteful.

Global warming is for the benefit of the scientists. They are the ones who are getting the attention and funding.
Case in point.....David "the prick" Suzuki has always played the media to look like a genius and get on the world stage.
BTW, David Suzuki is not of Japanese origin. He got cosmetic surgery done so he could look Asian. There's no Asian in him. If he were to look like any other caucasian scientist, he'd be nothing special.

David Suzuki is the biggest self righteous asshole in the lowermainland,he thinks he is better than everybody else,he looks down on people that are,"inferior" to him,meaning "less educated" in his eyes.One day,someone will kick him off his very high horse.

Who knows,it might come back as a once a year vehicle safety inspection.

Did the government charge us anything for having raising water level? or melting glacier? or 14 million hectares of dead lodgepole pine forests?

But the government definately charges us for damn near everything else and blames people for the rising water and glaciers melting.
I'm sure if they could,they would charge us for the stuff you mentioned.
Oh wait,they do,it's in the form of aircare,environmental levy's,carbon tax.
What's next,get taxed for farting?
