    How was the price of beef? Cattle eats corn, at least in the mid-west.

    Some of them are scientists. Some of them are TV weathermen, some are economists, and some are people who write letters to the editor. If this list was meant to be convincing, it isn't to me. I have to wonder why the author of the list larded it up with the completely unqualified. Makes me think his intentions are less than honorable, or that he is incompetent.

    Now, I'm not claiming there aren't actual scientists who think global warming is a scam. There are. But this list is merely evidence that the "alarmists" are not the only ones politicizing the debate.

    So what? Al Gore is no scientist at all, not even a meteorologist (which IS a scientific study of the atmosphere).

    A shorter but incomplete list:

    This is my feeling as well. Forget about global warming. We are destroying ecosystems and wiping out species. We are killing all of the sharks and the cause of malformed amphibians. Nearly all primate species are endangered. Here in Florida, there are approximately 3500 manatees left in the wild. Their greatest cause of death? Boats. We are not managing our resources properly, which includes the forests and wetlands.

    The cause of all of this is selfishness and greed. And politics, which is just a "nice" way of saying that.

    To be fair, there have been hundreds, if not thousands, of new plant and animal species discovered. Here is a Google search for 2007.

    So what? So if you (I mean the guy who made that list) don't make a honest argument, then you won't be taken seriously.

    Al Gore, for all his faults, does not claim to be a scientist, as far as I am aware.

    Uhm, those aren't new in the sense of newly created. Not knowing about some species of moss in Peru hardly excuses killing the manatees.
