[ RadSafe ] Re: The Great Global Warming Swindle Swindle

         This is a very informative website with a lot of useful and 
equally informative links.  My thanks to Brian Riely for posting this link.

         It is beginning to look like man-made "global warming" is a fraud 
and a hoax.  It would seem that the earth is in a cycle of warming, and 
that man-made chemicals have nothing to do with the current warming 
trend.  When you find that the peddlers of global warming are covering up 
or ignoring the role of water vapor (which is 95% of the gases that cause 
warming) you can't help but be skeptical -- both of man-made global 
warming, and skeptical of the honesty of the people pushing it.  No flames, 
please.  It's warm enough already.  (Har, har.)
