Cobraboy, when you first said this, I thought you were joking and forgot it straight away as I forget most jokes. But now it seems to me that you are serious. Can we just get away from your newly defined religion for the purposes of this discussion, on the basis that I don't belong to it?

I do not understand the math underlying Bernoulli’s Principle. There are however two people in the house that could explain it to me if necessary. I do simplistically understand the concept that if you have a pipe with a flowing liquid or gas, and the pipe narrows, the liquid or gas increases in speed of flow. To try and joke, to apply the principle to specifically man-made global warming, I cannot figure out where the 'pipe' is So, I cannot figure out the applicability.

Again, for me it is not a slavish adherence to the science, as I know the science is young and in many cases, not developed. For me, it is more a thing of what I see. Al Gore I think is a brave man, but I do not follow him, or anyone else slavishly for that matter.

Generally, for people who say that the media is doing crazy stuff and whipping up emotions .. I agree fully.

CFA123, I think you're summation is fine and correct for what we know and I have no disagreements with what you say.

So, I have a question .. Is there general agreement that we are seeing climate change on the planet?

If so, here is a question for those of us that are completely skeptical about man-made global warming ... in my thinking mankind and its actions is a variable that cannot be discounted. For those who say that mankind's actions is not contributing, are you not discounting a very important variable?
