I'm curious...why would you choose to believe these 2, and not the other thousands who say there's no question about it? Sounds like denial to me.

This kind of thinking has been going on for decades.

Remember auto emissions, the hydrocarbons, then tetraethylead, then seatbelts, smoking.. etc etc. There have always been deniers (including the heads of tobacco companies) even in court. Denial is always present, even when irrefutable evidence is right in front of your face.

Fact is only relevant if the facts fit one's desired outcome! Otherwise, fact is to be ignored and berated as lies. Well said 2oldmen.
In this regard, have a look at my signature. :(

It is amazing how small a picture that some people have of the world. They think that because it is cold where they are that global warming is a hoax. They don't know and probably don't want to know that right now in Fairbanks it is 27 degrees.

. . . And in Barrow it is 31

lets see, those peer reviews would be done by other climate scientists who of course are not biased in the least.

Don't confuse the weather with climate change.

Now that we are all in the global deep-freeze, I wonder if they'll convert our air conditioners back to freeon so we'll all have to buy new air conditioners now! After all... who needs air conditioning when it's 20 degrees below zero!

I wonder who or what the dinosaurs blamed global warming on.

I'm no scientist, so my view on global warming is this - two world renowned meteorologists say that there's no proof of manmade global warming, it's good enough for me. John Coleman, co-founder of the weather channel and William Gray, the scientist that the US has used to do hurricane predictions since the 80s say it ain't so - it's good enough for me.

Well I do have degrees in science (chemistry and chemical engineering). Coleman had a degree in journalism. Gray has credibility in hurricanes, but the anti-warming portions of his grant applications are not getting funded - which means his peers disagree. There is a wide range of opinions on how much man is affecting the climate. To say we don't affect it at all is ludicrous. And burning fossil fuels for heat and to move cars is stupid - those need to be saved as feedstock for industry.

John Coleman is not a scientist. For more info, click Snopes: John Coleman "refutes" global warming.
