company that pulled off the ultimate "Scam designed to make money for
one group" by telling the public that asbestos (the wonder mineral) was
safe for use in any circumstances.  The company knew of the problem but
decided (for $) to keep the information hidden and produce their own
disinformation.  So to answer your question - yes
companies/corporations/governments - can perpetuate the disinformation
if it serves their own self serving best interests.  (The Canadian
government still endorses the mining of asbestos despite the clinical
information).  Sorry - off the soapbox for now.  JW =20

Temporarily ignoring whether or not the rise in temperature is part of
the natural cycle or is being caused by man made factors - is there
anyone on this list that truly believes that putting over 6.2 billion
(with a B) net tonnes per year of CO2 into the atmosphere will not, in
the long term, have deleterious effects? (heating , cooling, turning the
air pink, whatever)  Do we all also believe that prohibiting the
discharging of CFCs into the atmosphere was a scam designed to make
money for one group or another?

Sorry, but I have children and grandchildren who have to live on this
rock - how can I, in good conscience, not oppose polluting the ground,
water and air?

Considering that Venus is the second closest planet to the sun at 67
Mega miles compared to earth's 93 Mega miles and the solar irradiance is
twice earth's at 2600 W/cm^2.  I guess one could expect a bit of heating
with any atmosphere that is 90 times as dense as earth's.  But comparing
it to earth's global warming is a bit of a stretch.=20

Although I bet if you went for a research grant on that theory the IPPC
money would roll in.

True that.  But the average surface temperature is between 450 - 500C,
therefore high CO2 does indeed result in higher temps. =20
