  They most certianly are.  Even the most ardent of skeptics have
admitted that the globe is observed to be warming.

  I doubt if you can find more than a handfull of scientists who
disbelieve the observation that the globe is warming.

"Is there any common ground? Of all people, Michaels insists there could
be. "When it comes to it, the modellers and the sceptics are not so far
apart," he says. Indeed, if pressed, Michaels, Lindzen, Spencer and
other sceptics suggest a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere would raise
average temperatures by between 1 and 1.5 'C. And 1.5 'C is the bottom
end of the modellers' range of predictions." - NEW SCIENTIST: 19 July

  Well then, lets restrict our discussion to scientists who research
climate change.  In a recent poll, 23% of Canadian atmospheric research
scientists strongly agree with the following statement... "We can say
for certain that global warming is a process already underway".

  The vast majority of the remaining atmospheric scientists polled agree
or agree somewhat with the statement.

  Ya, the earth has even experienced various ice ages.  I wouldn't use
that fact as an excuse for triggering one.

  Are you honestly so stupid that you would do so?
