Time for me to be "anti-science" again: more global warming bull

Newsweek Quiz: What Isn't Causing Global Warming?
Newsweek magazine has no doubt about what is and isn’t causing global warming.

In a Cosmo style quiz, the July 9 issue asked readers: “Which of these is not causing global warming today? A) Sport Utility Vehicles B) Rice Fields C) Increased Solar Output.”

The answer, according to co-authors Sharon Begley and Andrew Murr is increased solar output – and laid most of the blame on humans.

And here's some more people who are "anti-science" like me:
Even the radical environmental group Greenpeace stated that some glaciers have been retreating since 1850, long before SUVs existed. Left-leaning Chad Myers, CNN’s Severe Weather expert, said severe hurricanes were a result of natural cycles, not global warming in a May 23 segment.

Scientist Tzahy Vaksman, an aviation meteorologist, told the Jerusalem Post that we’ll only know if severe weather is caused by global warming after 20 more years of research.

And the father of scientific climatology, Reid Bryson a professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin, called man-caused global warming theories “hooey” in a June 18 report.

“[T]here is no credible evidence that [warming] is due to mankind and carbon dioxide. We've been coming out of a Little Ice Age for 300 years. We have not been making very much carbon dioxide for 300 years. It's been warming up for a long time,” he told The Capital Times of Madison, Wisc.

Of course, as with Newsweek, those dissenting opinions rarely ever make it to the public's ears and those who dare question the sacred cow of global warming are reviled as anti-science heretics.
