Are "Man-Caused Global Warming" Believers Beginning to Cave?

It must be disconcerting to Al Gore and the faith-based believers of "man-caused global warming" when the New York Times runs a piece suggesting that the global warming scenario is pretty much bogus:

Critics are calling it clear evidence that the climate of opinion on alleged global warming is shifting in favor of skeptics, especially since it comes from the New York Times, until now a fervent acolyte of climate change guru Al Gore and his doctrine of ongoing and disastrous climate change.

In his Times column for the first day of the new year, "In 2008, a 100 Percent Chance of Alarm," columnist John Tierney took a close look at the global warming debate and found that the climate change scenario being peddled by Mr. Gore and his legion of followers is anything but the settled scientific fact they claim, with the sole doubters being the equivalent of those who believe the earth is flat. Tierney, critics say, has nailed the climate alarmists and exposed their propaganda!

This is a pretty significant admission by the NYTimes!

It may not be a full-fledged refutation, but it may very well be a CYA "just in case the Al Gore/Ted Danson/Hollywood Left/incredible Nobel committee/United Nations/Kyoto types" aren't able to achieve the catastrophic scenarios they are promising.

Not everyone on the left can afford to be associated with the Al Gore/ global warming doomsayers if you consider that there is no way man can have any control over the cyclical inevitabilities of climate change. Like it or not, climate change has been around far longer than SUV's and way longer than the advanced and progressive Western Civilization, which has been so demonized by the left.

Thankfully, the entire subject of global warming and climate change is being thrown open to debate, as well it should.

Society can hardly afford to change national economic policy and wield to the leftist United Nation's wish that unprecedented international taxation be imposed based on a totally undocumented leftist philosophy, regardless of the "consensus" of a number of scientists.

There are an ever growing number of scientists who dispute the "man-caused global warming" belief. This debate is welcome in the arena of ideas and it should be an integral part of the presidential debates.

Let's see who falls in line with the Al Gore followers and let's see who has reasonable arguments against his faith-based belief in "man-caused global warming." Those on the right side of this debate will welcome more debate. Those on the wrong side of this debate will want to marginalize and debase anyone who oppose them.

With that in mind, it won't be difficult to determine who's right and who's wrong.
