How are claims against gw more akin to ID than real science (i mean i can see why but i would like to hear wat u think)?
I think that proponents of ID have put up wayyyy crappier scientific evidence and have way more fake degrees than opponents of gw.
well thats why I said "more akin" not "exactly the same." Pretty much there are not very many respected scientists that opposed global warming outright. I honestly dont know off hand of a specific study that I can point to, and Im not going to go digging through scientific journals. The thing is though, I probably wouldnt find much looking there anyways. Most of whats published opposing gw is printed in newsweek, or some other non peer reviewed publication. They use lamemans terms and twisted statistics to make claims that seem very reasonable. Its a standard distraction tactic used by big business to confuse and disorient the public to slow change in legislation and public opinion of the industry under scrutiny.

We saw it with big tabacco, we saw it with slavery, now we are seeing it with global warming.
